Help needed please,
I was tootling about today in the s3 and the coolant temp warning sounded, I immediately pulled over a turned the engine off. The temp gauge reached around 110° and the fans didn't kick in ! (They have always worked fine, even until recently)
The expansion bottle was boiling over and steaming out. Heaters work fine and can't find any cold spot's on rad/pipework, plus its returning back into the ex bottle. Head gasket water pump were done 12month back, coolant temp sensor done 6month back and thermostat done 2month back. All work done by a well trusted vag specialist.
I've let the car cool down and topped it back up but it keeps boiling over !?! Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance
