Fuel cooler
There are a couple of blue connectors (might be black) but they are the lowest point, then take the top off the expansion tank and run water in until it comes out clear. Next step fill with specified amount of antifreeze (Texaco) then top up with water Probably want to run the engine before to clear the radiator and after to get the correct level |

Prior to asking i looked at the fuel cooler and i think there was six pipes, all of which looked the same and none were as hot as the rad hoses. How to they come off?

Sorry but they are easy to get off
on the raised lip on the connector that goes on to the cooler , part of the raised lip pushes in to release the connector , push the bit before pulling the connector push bit then pull gently only thing sometimes is the connector can get packed with dirt making them bit harder to remove Try giving them a blast with wd40 aerosol straw in the end to wash dirt out |

Here's the "how to" for the Quick Release Pipes. It's shows the Fuel ones, but they are similar for the coolant;

Mission accomplished but you really have to tug at the pipes to get them off! 2008 RS4 gone, 123d M Sport, and a Puma 90 XS..
