On my way from work tonight, first thing was the car struggled to start, second the car was blowing cold air, the engine temperature was at 90. Third, as I neared home the temperature almost shot up to maximum and then the low coolant light came on, checked and everything was fine. Fourth when I switched off the engine the fan is still blowing, just checked it's still blowing. What is going on? Will my battery die? Should I disconnect?

What you need to do is get It on VCDS plenty of members have it and there's a list for people who have it so just check the list out for someone in your area with it, temp going up to maximum could be a water pump/ thermostat issue but like I've said you really need to get it on VCDS to check hope this helps and good luck

Like I said before mate you really need to get it on VCDS too confirm the problem, if it is water pump related the yes it will need to go to the garage as the front end needs to be stripped to gain access to the water pump and while your there you might aswell change the Cambelt as there quite cheap and would save you further labour in the future, all in you could be looking about the £300-£350 mark
