Wasting Coolant

hgasca · 05-05-2012, 10:45 AM

I have a 2002 A4 1.8 turbo and is wasting a lot of coolant. I tried to look for a leak, but I couldn’t find any, does anyone knows what else could it be? Also, a couple of times when I was turning on the engine it took more time than the usual to start and the EPC light came on, but then I turn it off and turn it on again the EPC light when off. Any ideas of what could be wrong?

Do you have access to a Vag Com? As for the coolant, it could be anywhere from the front of the engine to the back of the block.
Front of engine could be your h2o pump.. Back of the engine could be : http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B6_A4-...CoolingFlange/

OR, it could be as simple as a coolant hose/reservoir. When was the last time you had a TB/WP service?

Also, the starting/EPC Problem, could be this : http://www.a4mods.com/index.php?page...tml&category=5

Like I said, you need to check for Error codes
