well, if you do nothing and run your car without coolant you will probably overheat and blow the f*cker, it'll take you a while to do this tho. take it one step at a time, see how low the coolant is in the reseviour, see where the hose is cracked, which is what we'll assume the problem is, and replace it. a new hose a like 5 - 15$, maybe 25$ at audi. and youll need 2 new clamps, ~ 1.00$. if you do nothing and run it until it overheats and blows, i think new 1.8 turbos are going for like 5 -8k.

 

holy ****! im only 17! don't wanna end up driving my moms ride

 

yo calm done, i understand that you just fit (involuntary sh*t), but listen, check the level and a hose is cheap, you'll be fine.... unless you are a very special person you are not gonna blow your motor. if its low fill it up and if it continues to leak out change the hose. you'll be fine, luckily its only a hose - and its only a car.

 

this means either youre overheating or your level is too low. if your level is low check anf fill it with G12. be cautious though and keep an eye out because technically you shouldnt loose any fluid unless theres a leak somewhere. keep an eye out for under your car if theres leaks there this is a good thing because this means the leak is in a hose somewhere. if you remove your skid plate this will expose your lower radiator hose check this one first because lower hoses are prone to go first (closer to road elements). but first check that fluid level, if its not low then its a sensor prob. check your oil, i repeat check your oil, if it looks milky or discolored you have a prob (if you cant tell post a pic and we can help). if the oil looks fine then theres really nothing to worry about, hoses are cheap and very easy to relplace.

 

so if it's leakin all i need to replace r the hoses right?

 

yes, read my post above i just edited it, hope this helps.

 

and how long can i leave this even tho ur not supposed to. i jus wanna kno the time span

 

check the oil, if its milky stop driving NOW (you have a leak in your head gasket!!). if not just fill your antifreze up and you could drive for as long as you want, you will just need to continously fill the fluid but g12 is expensive and its the only thing you can use. just keep an eye on the temp and youll be good. but if its a hose theres really no reason not to fix it. its easy and cheap.

 

umm it will be approximately 178.32 plus tax


WTF, seriously how are we supposed to know the price.. Take it to a mechanic
