Big problems- please help....
OK, while changing my F-hose, i broke the breather tube that goes towards the back of the engine.Its right under the F-hose. While investigating, i found my colant leak. Its right where a hose goes into the block. Is that the famous o-ring problem? And how the hell are you supposed to get to it? Do you have to take the throttle body off? Or do you have to go as far as bumper and radiator removal.... I have taken so much stuff off already, i am starting to worry about putting it back together.... Yes, i have taken pics every step of the way...

The intake manifold is underneath the y-pipe. Looks like this:

When you take off the intake manifold
do you need to replace anything after... Like seals, maybe.... I am trying to order parts for the car and Audi in Miami has nothing in stock.... Sucks...

I can't help with the breather hose, but I just replaced my f-hose yesterday--->
and I can understand how the hose beneath the manifold could come disconnected while doing this. You really have to pull on the sob to expose it enough to get the new clamp on. It's a bit of a PITA for sure. Good luck on pulling the manifold. I remember seeing a step-by-step article with pictures where someone removed the manifold to replace the after run coolant pump. You might do a search and see if you can find that...it might help.

The same thing happened to me...(M)
It is some sort of breather hose. You can just snake a new tube from the F-Hose area under the IM towards the back of the engine where you will see where the orignal hose came out from. Just take the original off and re-connect a new hose to the back and to the F-Hose. Kinda hard to explain but that is what I did and it has worked for a month.
