Hi Guys, please read my original post and note there is a technical service bulletin out for this problem of the coolant leaking. Therefore if Audi deny knowing or ever hearing of this issue before, they are either lying or incompetent.  TSB# 2033806/7 Here's the link https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/SB-10058574-8951.pdf   Hope this helps
