coolant leak at the back of the head.

[coupegt]

My 3B is leaking from the coolant plug going into the back of the cylinder head.

I think this is a common problem on these engines.
I have been trying to order the part: 034 121 143 at my dealership... but unfortunately their reply is, that the part is no longer avaiable and no replacement part has been made

So what do I do then?
Getting tired of coolant on my garage floor, and guess the part will eventually fail completely, so I need a replacement

is there any other suppliers other than Audi somewhere outthere - or does a part from another Audi model fit?


Thanks in advance.

getting told from a friend, that 034 121 143E for a AAN engine should be a direct replacement - so now hoping that the stealership can find that one :-)

Rusty had some very nice alloy versions of these made, more info here http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43693
