water leak?????

[steve1234]

i have recently developed a water leak on my s2 the problem leak seems to be coming from the rear of the double pulley at the bottom of the engine!!!! am i right in thinking is this the water pump and maybe a seal gone, i had the water pump replaced recently! also can anyone tell me the best way to eradicate an air lock in the system and to maybe flush the system also?????????? im begining to think buying a s2 might have been a bad idea as i have had nothing but problems!!!

there is a hose that runs below the Inlet manifold at the back of the pulley(power steering) ..which is a known for bursting /leaking ackward ****** to fix

The little 10mm one? That went on me in the hot weather last week.
easy to fix tho, just cut (!) through the plastic shielding around the water pipe and hydraulic pipe (neatly) so you now have 2 plastic shield bits, then attach back together with zip ties - you cant even see the joinn I used 9.5mm fuel hose btw.....

Try this one. if its the same leak i had a while ago its not too bad a job to do . Just make sure you get the correct hose from audi (it hasnt got specific part as its sold by metre length from a stock hose), and loosen off and prise away the p/s pump to get access.

follow these pointers
