We had the same car AND had this exact problem.
Luckily the car was within warranty and the garage we bought it from fixed it...
By wrapping the pipe in electrical tape and then not filling the car with coolant. Cue head gasket failure, long drawn out process of letter writing and threats of court, we eventually got our money back.
In VAG circles, the pipe that goes is known as the death pipe. It has resulted in so many ending in the breakers yard.

We promptly saw the car up for sale at the same garage less than a month later.
