Hi you should be able to remove it without the bumper removal, take away the plastic cover trim that sits on the front by the top of the bumper that should expose the top of the rad, undo the securing bolts and lift upwards the bottom of the rad normally has a pin either end that locates into rubber mounts on the H frame at the front, I would advise buying a new top and bottom hose as in view of the cars age you may well have to cut the hoses to get the rad out, the hoses are well known to almost weld themselves on to the connection pipes on the rad.

have charged it. battery shows right down.then charges up fully. but after a few days of really cold weather shows battery low.

It's likely the air flap motor is faulty on passenger side.

finally solved his issue, but never found the actual drain holes in the plenum chamber ,as it turned out the sloshing noise was water collecting in the sunroof chamber the whole area above the windscreen was filling with water and draining very slowly cleaned the drain channel with some thin welding wire ,no more sloshing

Terry. If the sophisticated reader at Audi does not find anything, your cheap reader has no chance. All I can suggest is that you find an alternative garage to test it. We often recommend independant VAG specialists over main dealer. An internet search should find those near you.
