coolant

Hello, I have an Audi a3 1.8t agu, replaced water pump, thermostat and temperature sensor yet my coolant temp goes up to 90 degrees and drops back down, blows hot air, fans do not kick in, any suggestions?

So I’ve got a slow coolant leak. Maybe topping up the reservoir an inch or so every 100 miles. Only seems to leak on longer journeys. Can’t see any signs of leakage no puddles or wet patches nor any pink corroded areas. Pressure test seems to hold pressure. No sign of coolant in oil, exhaust...

Hi guys, Have owned the car for almost a month and today I got the lovey red triangle telling me to turn the engine off and check coolant level (happened twice on separate occasions) so I pulled up and checked the level while the car was running, the tank was practically almost empty. I then...

Good day, I have an Audi Q3 2.0TDI Quattro S-tronic Engine code CFGC I have recently been running into an overheating issue: I drive for about 15 minutes on the freeway, then the coolant temp will go up from 90 (Celsius) to about 110 (C) if I don't stop accelerating. It only does it on some...

Broke down yesterday due to ‘oil coolent’ management warning light. Turns out a stone has hit the grille, gone straight through and hit my radiator. After using Audi Assist recovery (very helpful, quick and efficient) I have now been sent an AUDI CAM video stating the work ‘will not be covered...

My coolant is below minimum and I'm wondering what brand/type of coolant should I use to top it off? On the coolant reservoir cap it says G12. I looked it up and most of G12, G12+ and G12++ are pink in colour. My car has red coolant from when I got the timing belt + water pump done at the...

A coolant thread, I know, i know...but not on an S3... a 2.0tdi 184ps this time (14 Reg, 87k miles had it since 6months old - not a single problem, until now!) The past couple of months coolant has been dripping from the car, escaping from the expansion tank. (Occured several times and had to...

Hi Folks. I wondered if someone could help with a quick question. I have an Audi Q5 from 2012. I took it to get a service some months back and ever since the car has been spitting out a "turn engine off, check coolant level, contact workshop" type error. My girlfriend took it back to the...

Hi all Need some advice. I need to change the coolant sensor on my A3 8p 2006. I took it off earlier and a load of coolant leaked out. How do I change the sensor without the coolant leaking? Do I have to completely drain it first or is there another way to do this?

Hi all, I have Audi A4 B8 2011 with 2.0 tdi with engine code CAH (125kw). I noticed that my car can drop coolant water temperature from 90 degrees if I have cabin heather turned on. There is no way it can reach 90 degrees with cabin heating turned on if I drive it regularly. Everything depends...

Hello, so I've been having this really strange problem with my 2005 A3. It started out with the car not even getting over the 50°C mark on the dash, replaced the thermostat and everything seemed fine. it would reach 90°C within 5 minutes of driving and stay there. But eventually it started...

Cars currently with AmD getting its stage 2+, they’ve told me it needs a new stat as car won’t get hot so can’t dyno it. Problem is main dealers are closed until further notice. so I’m trying to source a genuine stat from elsewhere. just need the correct part number, mines an S3 8P 2007 plate...

Hi guys, I've had my Audi s3 8P about 3 months now. Was just driving home and the coolant temp started to go above 90, was literally half a mile away from home so thought I'd try get it there, then the red low oil pressure sign come up. Just pulled over, turned the car off and let the fan run...

Recently replaced the coolant flange at the rear of the engine and hose to the heater and filled up with new coolant if that could have anything to do with it. I've tried bleeding the system twice to see if that helps. Basically the car used to get to 90c on the gauge and stay there. Now it...

My 2004 Avant 1.9tdi has gradually needed the coolant topped up more frequently to the point now where every few drives the coolant warning light comes on and the expansion tank is empty so I really need to address the cause. Went for a drive in the hopes to create pressure in the system, I...

Hi, new here. I had an intermittent coolant leak for a good month or so, but recently its been a constant dripping, and now it's dropping quite a lot of coolant daily. I've got a 2006 2.0 Tdi PD170, the leak itself is dripping off the drivers side of the bell housing, I've had the car on axle...

My a1 1.4 Tfsi keeps losing coolant can't see any leaks but coolant is in the drip tray under the engine

I would like to compare with others to confirm my temperature are in good condition. I had installed a "Pivot" OBD gague to show the coolant temperature. Mine is (with APR stage 1 ECU): 93-95 deg for coolant and drop to 88 when loading 95-99 deg for oil temp I used TMC tuning box before and the...
