I assume you stressed the pipe when doing the cambelt. I not 100% orientated in your picture but is that the coolant pipe from the top of the radiator to the thermostat housing? If so it is item 11 in...

Best course of action is to buy new from Audi/TPS, part number 8Z0121101AD, but it won't be cheap or you could risk (not advised) used on eBay if available.

What pipe connects to the upper coolant coupler

It's in the coolant diagram but I have just checked and the diagram is slightly wrong. Start at the small pipe from the top of the coolant tank, trace it down, straight on at the first Y branch, and at the next Y branch, branch left. This then carries on to connect to your sheared off spigot. Should be plain as day just dangling there.

Andy

Edit. The missing pipe should be secured to another pipe with a clip only a few inches from the sheared spigot.

Must of broke off some how whilst i was jacking up the engine i will have to replace now hard part i need to find one lol.
 
Edwrai's picture implies that just the elbow with the spigot is available separately, failing that composite affair from Audi/TPS as post #2.

On another missing pipe. How do fill up the windscreen water jets bottle, it is clearly missing at the service hatch? White spigot best seen in your first picture or did you simply disconnect to move it out of the way?

No that's separate i noticed a hole in the bottle previous owner used a screw to hold the under tray obviously not realising they screwed right into the screen wash bottle i noticed the leak whilst removing to change the cam belt, and the coupling i must of damaged whilst jacking up the engine changing the belt i only realise the problem while topping up the cooler.

I think A2Steve has a FSI in at the moment for recycling. Suggest you send him a PM if he does not pick up on your other wanted thread, which incidentally should be in Wanted in the forum's Marketplace, do not be surprised if it is moved by a moderator.

Steve is one of the clubs main A2 recyclers, an ethical breaker who only strips A2's beyond economical repair. Based in South Wales, although most things can be posted, he has helped hundreds of members keep their A2 on the road by providing parts at quite reasonable cost. As I said send him a PM, letter symbol in main menu bar.

Can you see the Market in the main menu bar?

Mmm I’ve recently had dealings with this part, it is all in one with the pipe, it may be removed from the old pipe but using a hack saw as it’s a single ring of metal with no way of getting it off other than to cut it.
