I have a 64 plate Audi quattro 2ltr tdi black edition which i have had for 3 years with no problems. I noticed a small drip of water under the car at first but now when i drive it really runs out. I have a 10 mile commute to work & im needing to fill the water up after that journey. Any help would be great

What are you topping up? Washer bottle or engine coolant?

 

[Geo]

Sorry, engine coolant.

 

[JohnS4]

If there is nothing visible from the top of the engine you will need to get the car on a ramp with the under tray removed. You may then be able to see the source of the leak.

Someone mentioned the water pump being a common fault & my timing belt is due to be changed. Phoned Audi Glasgow £959 thats horrendous

Geo mate seek an independent VAG service specialist and FORGET the official Audi stealers, PLEASE...

 

[Geo]

Phoned an Audi Specialist, £475 for the same job using genuine Audi parts. How do the dealers get away with it. Robbery

So turns out it was the oil coolant housing that was away, specialist charged me £607 to replace. Ouch
