No problem with 97 tiptronic...

Hello.
Just to let you know that I bought the same headers from eBay, and that I didn't have this issue with a 2.5l tiptronic... The 2.5 configuration got 2 cooling line, but one on each side of the oil pan. So if you have a ZF tiptronic transmission, I think that you could buy the cooling lines from a 2.5l and your problem will be gone...
BTW bleeding the cooling system is not that hard, I had to do it because of a broken header stud next to the water pump.
Good luck
