Hi I have an audi A6 avant 2.0 which is heavily leaking water. I know where the leeak is from. It is leaking from a plastic t-piece which connects to the engine. One end of the component is square this is where it connects to the engine. The other end is round and has a large (pipe approx 1"-1 1/2") connected to it. From the T-piece is a slightly smaller pipe. Ontop are 2 sensors.
I need to replace this part but am unable to find th name of the component or where to get this part from. I live in France and am reluctant to take the car to an audi dealer as it looks like a job I can do myself.
I have 2 pictures, one a close up of the component and the second a picture showing where it is positioned which can be emailed if they are any help, I dont know how to add them to the post 
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.
Kind Regards

I'm a late bloomer! It's June 09 and guess what the 2003 A6 Quattro is no better. Can't leave it in the rain!!!! Apparantly there are drains no one tells you about and they get clogged. I have found thousands of complaints about this online and surprise - Audi doesn't care! It was a sweet ride - when it's actually driveable. In shop now for thousands of dollars. Can't wait to ditch it - though it'll be worthless with all the damage. In debt for a reliable car? What a sad, sad joke.

Wish I had known about these sites before buying an Audi. They are terribly designed with flaws that they won't admit to. You can't leave them in rain!! There are drains that get clogged (no one tells you about) until thousands of dollars have been spent. I rue the day I thought I could finally enjoy a "luxury" car. Down with Audi. In debt for quite sometime. Who would ever have believed this?

I also own a 08' A6 (3.2L engine) with 13K miles on it and I have experienced the same MIL problem last week. As a first attempt to fix the problem, my dealer also poured in the gas tank an injectors' cleaner and ask me to drive a few hundred miles to see if the problem will re-occurred. Indeed, the problem re-occurred yesterday after 50 miles only. I am taking the car back to the dealer Thursday.
I will keep you posted of what has been done.

As a Former Audi A6 owner , i can only suggest that you keep every piece of paper and get the loaner car while your car is in the shop and to look at what you need to do if you decide to go Lemon Law , There is no care at AUDI to customer satisfaction , I think you need to look at lemon law good so you might want to advise them on the 3rd try this is last chance . good Luck to you

IIRC, there's a TSB to address that start button issue. Our 05 A6 had the same problems.
Fixed under warranty.

we had to take it in 3 times... finally they said it was a software update issue..have them check ur most recent software update and make sure that it was installed properly. and since we've not had any issues since i hope that was it... but it was a lot of wasted time or an excuse to bill audi .... wouldn't expect that to happen to such a new car.... i'm a converted BMW owner and so far not very happy so far.... previous 540 owner .. never had to take the car in except for regular maintenance... i've taken this Audi A6 in more times this month then my BMW in 4 years.. if I have to take it back again for anything outside regular maintenance this year... it's a goner.. i'll tell them to pay me fair value and be done with the audi experience.

2000 A6 brake problem

I have a 2000 Audi A6 2.7T with HP2 4-Piston High Performance Front Brakes. I am tying to get the caliper off to change the front rotors and pads. When trying to get the slider pins off, I removed the caps and than inserted a 7mm hex key to remove the bolts. The 7mm hex key doesn't grip anything as there are just round holes. When I insert a smaller hex key (5.5mm or less) it passes through the hole and also will not catch on anything. Has anyone experienced this and found a way around it? I hope that the bolts are not just missing, but figure they have to be on since the caps were on and the caliper has not fallen off.
I would just take the bracket off that holds the caliper on the car, but there is a break line running directly behind the bolt that I don't want to bend too much. Has anyone encountered this and did you find a good way around it? Any help or idea's would be greatly appreciated.

I picked-up my car this morning. According to my dealer, the engine's intake valves where dirty. In order to clean them, they had to remove the intake and valve covers. A rather lengthy operation, luckily the car is under warranty. What worrys me is that dirty valves appear, according to the dealer, to be a surging problem with all Audi new FSI engines (engines with direct injection of fuel in the cylinder). It does not look too good for the car's long term reliability. It's not normal for a car with less than 15,000 miles to have dirty valves and I always used super gas.
If what they have done to my car appears to have corrected the problem, it is only a temporary solution. The dirty valves problem will come back.
That is my second Audi A6 and it will be my last one if they cannot find a permanent fix to this problem.

Found 2003 A6 $10500-60,000m Is this a smart choice,test drove car seems to run fine. But after reading some of your post it sounds scary.
Honest opinions here, any reason why i shouldn't buy it.
