Hi, I had to replace the radiator on my 98.5 A4 2.8 Tiptronic and I am putting it back together now and am not sure where to connect the two hoses coming from the radiator on the passenger side. I know where they go just I'm not sure which one goes to which. Right now I have the bottom one on the radiator connected to the back one coming from the block, and the top on the radiator to the front from the block. If someone could just verify this for me even by going and looking at theirs i would appreciate it very much. Thanks, Nick

 

can you take a pic of which hoses and post? there should only be 2 hoses connected to the radiator. it sounds like you have it hooked up correctly but post up a picture just to make sure

 

unfortunately I don't have my digital camera right now or i would. but there's the upper and lower hoses on both of the sides (driver and passenger) and on the same side as the lower connection (passenger side) there are two metal lines that bolt to the radiator. One up top and one lower they are metal then they turn into hoses kinda like on the AC condenser, and they run to the block. They may only be on 2.8 tiptronics, because I looked at my 99 1.8T tiptronic and it didn't have these lines, and neither did my 97 1.8T 5spd.
