Hi Brian ordered some bits of that joint pipe but looking at it now could you not just run the two pipes straight through the bulkhead to the engine bay cheers for advice
The 2 existing metal pipes are done away with then because they seem to be a mare to remove
No need to remove the steering wheel to do the heater matrix O rings or the blend motors although I found it a tad more difficult on LHD.Stufer, thanks for the guide.
I’m to tackle this issue soon. Is there any quicker way of confirming the leak is coming from the O Ring that doesn’t require me dismantling the steering wheel?
Also, since I’m taking off the steering wheel, am I able to follow the DIY guide of replacing the blend motors? I’d rather tackle both jobs at once.

I just slid some kitchen towel under the triangular piece and ran the engine . It later came out wet and pink showing in my case the heater matrixStufer, thanks for the guide.

Only one duct cut required and it's a darn site easier and quicker than removing the dash.Personally I don't agree with all this cutting bits. Better to take the dash out & do the job properly. It's also easier to fix any blend motor issues & sort all the leaky ductwork as well.
+1 on that. Even I found it an easy jobOnly one duct cut required and it's a darn site easier and quicker than removing the dash.
Is Stufer's guide also useable for the LHD version you think? I'm going to do this job very soon.No need to remove the steering wheel to do the heater matrix O rings or the blend motors although I found it a tad more difficult on LHD.
Never seen Stufer's guide. There is a bit more room to work on the LHD but I seem to remember a bracket that made access harder. If the screw comes out without a battle, it's an easy job. Best to fit a socket head screw when reassembling with a good coating of copper slip on the thread..Is Stufer's guide also useable for the LHD version you think? I'm going to do this job very soon.

I wonder if Audi ever wonder why they are selling so many heater cores? They may think it's a dodgy design they have.I've got an Audi core on order, seems the best way to go. Well in my eyes it is anyway
