So as many of you know after i hit the deer they had to put a new engine in the car....

so i was about to do some work today and i put the car up on ramps to get under it... to my awesome surprise... im leaking coolant, badly...

i had the coolant sensor go off yesterday mornign but didnt think much of it so i put some more in... went off again this morning and thought well maby its just malfunctioning or something...

basically im really pissed off and my car just ran out of warentee and audi claims that my final service was back when the car was still all crushed up... its fucked up im really pissed...

any ideas of where it could be coming from? theres dried up coolant all over the engine so i cant get a sence of where the leak is coming from... the coolant is leaking from under the belly pan and just dripping off constantly... the dried coolant was there when i picked up the car from audi when they claimed it was done and finished... so i figured they just had some mishap while installing the engine... clearly i was wrong

pissed off... any help would be great... i hope its just a loose connection or something

 

heres what im talking about... 2 of 4

Start the car while on the ramps. If it is leaking that badly then you should be able to tell where the leak is coming from.

 

Or you could top it off and do a pressure test. This requires getting a pressure tester of course but its a simple way of finding a leak instead of going to a stealership, just don't blow the head gasket.

 

[:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]here we go again, i topped it off with coolant just to get to the gym to work out and then bring it to the auto body shop.... and what else happens? i was on a highway and a ******* coolant line blew and drained the engine of all the coolant... theres coolants sprayed everywhere now, out the grill, all in the engine everywhere... all over the trubo etc... it happened while i was int he middle lane of the Route 7 Connector and i immidiatly saw the temp gauge start to rise crazy fast... i put the car in neutral, turned off the a/c and coasted off the highway and into a gas station where the car is right now sitting there... i had my dads secretary baby sit the car while a flatbed truck comes to pick it up... audi however did say they will fix it for free since it was clearly their fault... i just hope the engine hasnt seized....... if so, im onto engine #3

 

o man thats shityt luck. goodthing audi is paying tho

 

yea its really really shitty... if they werent going to pay i was going to either flip out at the guy who runs the place in greenwich for not correctly checking and securing all hoses and lines and causing me damage... or slap them with a lawsuit (im not sure on what basis but im sure there could be something there)

 

you could do like bond and drive yoru car through the window of the dealership

 

yea il just drive my pos 1995 Golf III through there... although i dont think i could bring myself to cause harm to the S8 or the RS4
