Coolant leak/overheat problem on 97 A96
Hello,
I need your help on my 97 A6.
I started to get bad coolant/radiator temperature warning a couple weeks ago.
I checked the coolant reservoir and had about only 1/3 left in the tank. I filled it
with dex-cool and my car was running fine until last Thursday.
When I was about to park in my garage, I suddenly got bad coolant warning and
coolant started to leak. There was boiling sound coming out from near engine
and radiator area and coolant was overflowing. After it cooled down, coolant
reservoir was only 1/4 full, so I filled it again. I took it to test drive but coolant warning
came up again and I lost almost all coolant fluid after I parked.
I replaced both water pump and timing belt last year at a local import repair shop.
Can anyone tell me what is going on with my car?
Thank you,
Adelie
