Costa, this is likely the problem: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a6-.../#post24276198
I've had this happen twice on our 2006 A6. I believe the codes were the same.
I don't know that you need a mechanic to fix this. You DO need some hi-temp silicone line to complete the repair. It's not a great design and I think the entire population of these cars is going to be affected sooner or later. The plastic line Audi used can't withstand the heat and breaks apart like uncooked pasta.
