need help selecting right parts... My clutch fan "exploded", puncturing rad.
Alright guys I need some help here. My A4 has been out of commission for almost two months now and i finally have a bankroll big enough to fix it so, here goes...
I have a 2000 A4 1.8T Quattro, Auto trans w/tiptronic. ATW. Roughly 150,000km.
While driving home from work one day i ran over some debris and just my luck, something went into my clutch (viscous) fan, causing it to decintigrate, firing shards of fan into my rad, most of the 7 litres of coolant to spray onto the ground.
My question then, is this, can anyone help me with a specific list of parts i may need?
Gonna replace the water pump as well, while the front end is apart.
It'd really help me if i had a list of OEM replacement parts so i could gather info about aftermarket ones.
Thanks to anyone with some advice.

ATW buddy, you're giving him AHA/ATQ parts. That's basically what you need though, but add on the fan clutch and possibly radiator hoses.
thanks for the advice.. timing belt job was done 30,000k ago. Thermostat is probably a good idea though. I'm thinking of getting a new water pump too so do i just need the one gasket with the water pump or is there something i'm not seeing?
And, is putting the car into service position really necessary for replacing the rad?

You might be able to replace it but since service position is easy to achieve, do it and make life easier. I'd do it anyway - with the damage you had, you're gonna want to check things out - there are wiring harnesses and rubber lines in there that could be damaged.
