VW AND AUDI COOLANT LEAK
VW and Audi Coolant leaks are NEVER a good thing !
Hot weather can wreak absolute havoc on your VW and Audi vehicle. It causes the engine to work overtime and pushes everything to it’s limit, including the cooling system. Coolant (also known as antifreeze) must be maintained at a proper level or your vehicle will overheat. Coolant leaks should be addressed in a timely manner to avoid engine damage. Overheating your engine can be avoided if you keep a watch on your coolant level. If you ever get a warning light, pull over to the side of the road and have your vehicle towed to a repair facility. Attempting to drive your vehicle while overheating will cost you big money.
Cooling System Components
- Water Pump
- Thermostat

Each of these components plays an important part in your vehicle’s overall health.
To summarize, a coolant leak will cause your engine to overheat if left unattended. Your vehicle needs coolant to keep the engine cool and working properly. Do not depend on your dash warning light. You need to know how to visually check the coolant level in your vehicle.
