Default What parts are needed for coolant leaking from the oil cooler?

What parts do I need and is there anything else I should have done while he's in there? (I did TB, water pump a year ago). 1997 A8Q

Thanks!

Default Parts are listed in the procedure on audipages.com.

Usually one does the oil cooler procedure while in the midst of doing the TB. I don't think there's anything else to do while you're in there. If there is, someone will chime in I'm sure.<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles/enginemechanical/oilcoolerremovalreinstall.html">Oil Cooler Procedure</a></li></ul>

Default I've done both and there's a little overlap between the 2 jobs (not much).

I would leave it alone, that's lot of work to do at once.

Thanks for the advise. Less work is always better.
