I have a 2013 2.0 TdI S-Line, which developed a coolant leak. Turns out it was coming from the connection pipe at the bottom of the radiator. I was then advised that this model actually has TWO radiators back to back. These are then married up with the A/C condenser unit, which is what you can actually see through your front grille. An independent Audi specialist based in Glasgow told me it only had one radiator, but believe me when I say it has got two. I purchased them from TPS & fitted them WITHOUT the need to dismantle the front end of the car. They can be removed from the bottom, after removing the engine tray & fan housing. I also took the opportunity to install a sheet of plastic mesh in front of the new recently fitted A/C condenser unit, in order to offer future protection from stone damage.
