Hello all, pulled onto the drive this evening and upon stopping noticed smoke/steam pouring out from underneath the bonnet
Quickly located the issue, link to full-size image: https://1drv.ms/i/s!As_InXsv42i2hJ9tqJyBQT5gVVbrYw
Coolant sprayed everywhere in the engine bay and burning off! Engine temp was ok so hopefully didn't happen too far from home.
Does anybody know the part number? And whether or not it happens to be a VW shared part; my local VW dealer is much better at keeping this type of item in stock.
It was going dark so I couldn't do much but... how easy is it to remove the clips to replace it myself, and can they be reused? I have large hands and get easily frustrated by fiddly work but I'm happy to give it a go given that the car is undriveable.
Cheers,
Tom.
