Does anyone have a diagram or picture of where this is? The dealership says its leaking and they want $250 to replace it. I think I can handle a hose swap.

I'd suggest you get yourself a Bentley http://www.bentleypublishers.com/aud...009-ebahn.html , if you are planning on doing work on your car.

You'll save hassle with posting and waiting for replies, as well as have more complete details involving any work you are looking to under take.

I'm at work now, but have the schematic your looking for at home...will try to get it over the weekend, if possible.

I bought the elsa win disks and have loaded them on my laptop but I can't seem to get it to work. I'll check out that Bentley site.

Sweet. Thank you!

That's why they are called stealerships.
You don't need a new hose. All you need is a new hose clamp where it connects to the cooler pipe to replace a band clamp. You will see where it leaks when you remove the splash guard.
Don't use power steering fluid or atf if you need to top it off. It needs specfic gear oil

Bonus: my favorite German hose clamp source for my Audi and BMW here.

Thanks for all the great information. I'll check that clamp for wear indications and see if that is where the leak is. Hopefully that is right that would be a lot less work, money, and time to change.

This site is great!
