Leaking coolant...Engine temp sensor went up to H!!! NEED HELP
The coolant is boiling. I filled the coolant and no luck. Coolant temp just under 250 degrees and the car stays at normal then goes up to H after driving for about 5 minutes. NEED HELP. ANY IDEAS? 1998 A4 1.8TQ

When i open the cap a huge amount of coolant began to flow out from below.
Once the car began to overheat i stopped put more fluid in and it did it once again so i opened the cap and then coolant released from somewhere below the coolant holder.

If you open the cap with the engine off and the car is hot the coolant will boil
The system is supposed to be pressurized. If you are removing the cap on a hot vehicle you should always have the engine running.
Its difficult to say where it's leaking from based on what you have said.
