Hi Guy,

sorry to hear your car is poorly. I have dumped out pretty much the entire Elsa W12 coolant section for engine code BHT (didnt know your engine code).
Hope it helps you get it fixed.

Goran

edit - MS Word sucks! its made a complete mess of that file. Guy let me know your engine code and year of car and I will try to get the Elsa info into pdf.

Fingers crossed... Though nice to see a load of responses to help.

Definitely sounds like a hose has popped, and given that they were all off a few weeks ago...

Try to get a rough location for it, then start working back from there.

BUT as a positive if the engine has only just been fitted, it should be covered by Audi 1 Year warranty?
