    new brakes cause alarm

    There should be a max and min mark on the side of the reservoir, if you have disconnected the caliper I would check its definately not leaking to be on the safe side :)

    I would check the fluid level and the sensor on the reservoir is working properly first

    More thermostat grief

    Also when the thermostat is out you can feel the back of the water pump with your fingers to see if the impeller is intack and still connected to the pump :)

    More thermostat grief

    audi a3 misfire and its not the coilpack or icm

    If the part isn't genuine then it could still be faulty, I would put the original back on to at least confirm the wiring is ok on cylinder 4 :)

    It does sound like a faulty part, try putting the original part back on and see if the misfire moves back to cylinder 3. :)
