They may have removed the duct between the turbo and intercooler to access the lower radiator hose clamps, but they would have charged way more than 1 hour labor to R&R the turbo (which isn't necessary anyway).
The sending unit in the bottom of the coolant reservoir can go bad. Normal failure.
The clutch hydraulic lines are a weak point on a 9000. I would recommend a new master cylinder and line. Unfortunately you can't also replace your slave cylinder without removing the transmission (they won't do this for 1 hour labor either ;)
Good luck!
