couple of days later I noticed the level dropping again. it went to another audi dealer, who found that the first dealer had torn a pipe when reinstalling my new egr pump!!!!!
they replaced it and i claimed the £90 odd back from the original dealer.
however, it still kept losing coolant, and now the dealer says its prob the egr pupm. anybody know how easy thia is for me to replace, how much it'll cost, and whether the prob is likely to be anything else, before i spent more money on parts i dont need.
any help is much appreciated,
thanks

Loosing coolant, is normaly head gasket. You do'nt say if there is coolant leak under car after driving ( if you have air condition you will find wet spot(dam)) under your car). if so, turn off air condition. fill up with colant(wather) drive fore a while (10 - 20 min.) stop car and see if there is water under your car. If not, and coolant is low, trye same procedyre once more. still loosing coolant ???? go to first repair and complain. PS. Sometimes coolant level can drop after replacement ore leages that have been repaired ( just 2 - 10 mm. )
