Default I'm glad I get ambitious on Friday evenings. Found a coolant and inner CV boot leak

the coolant leak looks slow and is coming from the hose connection on the housing for the ECT sensor (the one under the sensor). I won't know how bad it is now that I've messed with it until I warm the car up tomorrow morning. Hopefully, one of the 10 VW/Audi dealers within 35 miles of here has one if I need it.

The CV boot leak doesn't look old, like it might have just started leaking because of my hard launch practice or runs at Englishtown in the last week. It's where the boot meets the differential and doesn't look too bad. It should be under warranty, as the boot was just replaced with my clutch less than 2 months ago. My concern is how it will hold up to Sunday's abuse when I expect to make at least 8 launches at the strip. I guess I can just drive it tomorrow and check it at night to see if it's leaking bad.

Default lol, WTF? Part number unknown? Anybody have a recent ETKA?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/42525/etka-81950-12150.jpg"></center><p>819-50 on the left, 121-50 on the right. It looks like the hose I need in 121-50 is #35, just under #22. It leads back behind the firewall above the trans. I'm guessing #3 in 819-50. I also imagine there's an o-ring and I'd like to replace the clip, but there's obviously nothing shown here. Do I just suck at teh etka? Maybe all I need is a new o-ring.

Default thanks. It looks like my wiggling of the hose has fixed it for now. It'll get me through tomorrow

I should just replace all cooling hoses next weekend when I do the timing belt
