My 5 cylinder S6 has developed a coolant drip which is rather rapid for a drip, and I do not want to drive her in motorway traffic at the moment.
Info:
-Service book states timing belt changed 50,000km ago. You'd be crazy not to replace the pump too, which is timing belt driven, right?
-Didn't used to drop water (maybe a minute bit over 6 months?)
-Changed coolant 10 days ago up north, and have driven back here and done a bit of driving since, not a lot though.
-Coolant light came on today, I looked and it was gone from the reservoir, and dripping from the solid under-car turbo to intercooler pipe.
-Ostensibly the coolant is coming from the sump flange at front of engine
-No signs of coolant on engine anywhere, tstat housing, pipes, radiator, anywhere.
What do we think?
Cheers
P.S give me good news, I've been shelling out big on the E30 lately and about to shell out for audi paint too..... Unless someone just wants to take the audi from me!
