Default The old girl is hot!

MOT and service done last week.

Driving today the old temp gauge was going up and up and up!

Damn!

A small coolant leak, top hose warm for the radiator but car engine does not seem that hot. Cannot really check the bottom radiator hose and there is plenty of lovely pink coolant in the system.

I suspect water pump or Thermostat, it will be done of course just bloody annoying! Though if it is either of those may as well do the cambelt etc all at once.

VAGCOM confirms the reading from the sensor.

M-A8's A8 looks tempting right now as I do really need a third car

If only a cambelt service was £300 like it just was on the A2 this week!
