Here is a link to heater cores for the C5:

03 2003 Audi A6 Quattro Heater Core - Climate Control - APDI, Genuine - PartsGeek

Beware: If this is your first big job on your 2.7t, this is a big one to tackle! Expect your car to be unusable for at least 1 to 2 weeks. I have heard nightmare stories about doing heater cores on our cars. Knock on wood I have never had to do one... yet.

I would have to say with the knowledge that I have with the rest of the coolant system, pretty much the only way you would notice coolant in the passenger compartment would be a cracked heater core.

Are you seeing a loss of coolant in your expansion tank?

yea it seem to be a big job for the fact that i have to take the whole dash board apart. i already got the heater core. thanks for the link. and yes i'm loosing a lot of coolant. i will start this work this weekend hopefully i can get it done by this weekend too i been watching a lot of youtube video and it doesnt seem like i do not need any special tool. which is a good thing.
