Hi all, I have a 2002 A4 with the 1.6 8 valve petol engine. The car runs at normal temp by the gauge and the heaters blow hot as they should but it seems the water is not circulating as the water in the header tank is stone cold as is the bottom hose. The car warns up very fast and after 5 min of running the top hose is red hot. I have removed the top bleed screw and the water is pumping out ok. But there is no water returning back to the bottle and the system isnt pressurising. Also there is a lot of white smoke blowing from the exhaust! Any help would be much appreciated....
