3.0T Coolant Leak - What hose is this?

[92tsi]

I've been smelling some coolant the last 1.5 weeks, but I thought maybe the dealer topped it off a little too high on my last oil change. It appears the leak is coming from the hose where the orange arrow is, but I can't seem to find a diagram that shows that hose. Any 3.0t engine pictures online don't seem to show that hose either.

Looks like part number 11 in the below diagram - PN# 06E121058F

Before you splurge $XXX money at the dealership check with OEMVWShop.com, Its going to be way cheaper, just make sure to make a list of other things you may need especially for future projects

I’ve been pretty fortunate and haven’t had any issues with my Audi since I bought it. Any idea how difficult it is to get to that part? Do I need to pull the front bumper off?

Thanks!

You don’t need to take the bumper off but you will need to get the drive belts and vacuum pump off. It’s tight in there, but doable.

I'm in the same boat, mine started leaking last week

There’s a part number visible on that hose that I bet you can confirm with the diagram above. See if you can take a better pic with your camera and the zoom in. But I agree it looks like the part identified by ziti.
