Bigdar 62 Report post Posted February 9, 2012 Probably £3-4 ish I reckon from euros or Gsf. My misses had a knackered flange a while ago, dripping uncontrollably Anyway, I digress, should be cheap enough Her flange was about £4 I think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jhc 28 Report post Posted February 9, 2012 That would be cool, its from a 1.6 A3 but as far as I can tell its the same piece on the 1.8t's, tdi's and allsorts of others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigdar 62 Report post Posted February 9, 2012 All the plastic stuff seems to rot at the same time On her 3series, I had to replace the flange at the back of the engine, thermostat housing, and rad. All plastic, and all as brittle as a brittle thing Obviously the rad isn't all plastic, but it was the plastic ends that gave up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jhc 28 Report post Posted February 9, 2012 Thats quite common. I managed to blow up an expansion tank on my 528... admittedly I sat with the AC on full and engine running all day at a show on the hottest day of the year... but still... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
