Bracket supporting int.cooler hose broken.

I've just been informed by my local tps that this bracket is now discontinued so no longer available and Audi have no stock !


Got the same answer, after I placed the order; sorry, can not be delivered.I will try again, it may exist in stock somewhere,- maybe in Spain ;)
If its not possible to get it, I will make a alubracket myself, and then use a strong rubber strap like in the attachment, I think.This kind of strap is a bit stiff, and with the right lenght, it will provide some distance to the sump, and allow some movement.

Several members are not very happy with Audi`s solution for holding the hose.Over time they get britle, and a theory is that the engine is lifted during service, and the bracket not released.
My bracket looked like it had been melted, and the remains where like a biscuit..

I was lucky enough to source one in the UK last month and what a difference it makes to fitment I have to say. I can also see why its broken so easily!
 
Hi Fred / all,

This is the part I'm seeking in this thread, along with the alloy pipe itself. I will email the address noted above, however @Fredaudi were you referring to this supplier or another?

thanks.
Hi, this is the bracket.As I remember it, I referred to a ebay seller at a point, that had one for sale, but they could be ordered from some VAG shops also.I got mine from VAG, in the end.

OK I ordered one from this site but I have a feeling they're fraudsters: link

Good thing they offer payment via paypal so there's no risk - I've gone for it at 25 quid posted supposedly; but surprise surprise the paypal seller's name is in Chinese characters, I've been charged the USD amount and I've not received any invoice from the website, only the paypal receipt....
