| which can be a challenge to access on TT's. I didn't think there were 4 of them (others here can chime in)? Those front short hoses are accessed by removing the two metal pipes where the upper and lower radiator hoses connect (behind the radiator). Short hoses go from the back of those pipes to the block. Kind of hard to see them easily w/out an inspection mirror. A few things need to be pulled to get to them. Another consideration -- at what mileage was the car's 60k t-belt servicing done? If on time at 60k miles - might want to consider doing the 120k servicing. Pull off all the stuff in the front of the block, fix the hoses, replace the water pump, do the t-belt, etc... Sadly these cars can be expensive when shop hours/labor is involved....
