Here is a pic of mine before prep and hammerite treatments taken from my CAF how too thread.



As said before you can access (just about) to undertake inspection and treatment by just removing the undertray (i had it on a ramp to do this mind)

If your doing the CAF mod its the perfect time

....and there goes my oil pipe!

I got a yellow oil 'low oil' on the DIS last night. Luckily only half a mile from home.

When I got out to have a look there was a drip every few seconds from just behind the bumper on the left side. It stopped completely when the oil cooled. It took 1.5 litres to get back up the hashes which makes me wonder if I've been leaving a small trail of oil on the roads over the last day or so. That would explain all the motorbikes crashing in my rear view mirror

Sorry folks, just to be sure are these the oil pipes circled in red?

Mine has done circa 50k and the oil cooler pipes were very rusty, i wire brushed and coated them with 3 generous brush coats of hammerite, think i have got away with it

I may inspect and greese them before heavy winter too as that was a few monthes ago.

+1 for the bad quality steel/finish by Audi

that sounds like a good idea
