    Thanks Crasher - it sounds like you’re “in the know”. Is there any way of finding out through Audi's how many incidents there have been of this part failure?

    Well this one is on a car where Sytner Audi Nottingham have recently rebuilt the engine under warranty and now it is pouring water out of the V but we have yet to get in there, certainly supplies of the valve are erratic.....

    Crasher, on the internal paperwork, that the dealer presumably uses as their claim for the work to Audi UK, there was a TPI number. I looked at the paperwork when I was alone at the desk and saw it written on that paperwork.

    It may be a very new TPI, my ODIS has been down since late November and I have not been able to restore it, the help desk has been unobtainable for the last three weeks and six separate attempts at stripping the PC clean and re downloading and installing the 14 Gb of files has failed and multiple emails unresponded to. The dongle itself cost £1K and the service costs 10Euro an hour and it is useless...

    I had a coolant leak. low coolant warning, found evidence underneath and on the carport. topped it up with G13 and sure enough slow leak. Took it back to audi and diagnosed with waterpump leak, 24 hours later and all fixed under warranty.

    Good result booba, Waterpump leak is a first, will have to keep an eye on that. My fixed leak seems to be stable now and it was the coolant inlet valve.

    Sadly I'm still arguing the toss with Audi UK about who is going to pay the bill. Any tips re negotiating with them would be gratefully received!

    Ive just checked tonight on the TPI and there is only one new one really that is sort of related from 24th May 2016 where the coolant hose chafes on the air conditioner pulley (only applies to 3.0 TDI Q7 4Ms too)... but nothing to do with seals/valves

    I found the same thing, no TPI relating to the valve but the valve is in huge demand on cars under warranty.... I wonder if there is a special book in addition to the "red" book that is on paper only and very closely guarded...

    I think you could be right. Defo nothing in the "red book" as of yesterday.. I find that bizarre.

    I've ping my Master Tech mate at my dealer too, see if he knows anything he is willing to share.
