Hi
Had a big problem with my a3 1.8t sport at the weekend driving normally as usual and the coolant low light comes on on the dash so i stop the car and its running fine coolant isnt low etc pull of and the temp starts to rise so cut off the engine, rang the aa man he comes out starts it up and the temp sits fine in the middle, under the bonnet one of the hoses is hot but the other is stone cold, guessing this means the water isnt getting pumped round? he said this would point to the water pump? only thing i am worried about is there was a small leak coming from behind the front bumper somewhere not much but a tiny bit of coolant could the water pump going have caused something else to go?
