Hi all
Had a bit of a nightmare with my 1.6fsi colour storm in the last few days.
The above mentioned link pipe has split draining all my coolant.
At first I thought it was the head gasket but then I noticed the link pipe had a small crack which turned into a large split.
I'm sure I don't have to tell you it's a horrible job to remove the "stat" housing and link pipe.
Now that they are out I've noticed there appears to be a small pipe broken off the housing so the housing will need to be replaced along with the link pipe.
Part numbers :032 121 065 D and 032 121 111 C
Will these parts still be available from the main dealers?
Whilst I have the pipes split I'm planning on flushing the system,are there any thoughts on this,which flushing agents to use etc.
Thanks for the assistance.
