Default Audi a4 1.8t 2003 Leaking problem

Hello friends,

I just brought 2003 audi and the heater was not working, I thought it can be fixed easily but 2 days ago when i drove for almost 15 km and came home and park the car then coolant came out from coolant container, It was kind of coolant overlfow. It was more than 1 full glass. Yesterday again i drove and it crosses 90 from head gauge and the coolant came again out. Don't know whts all going on. Please help me with your suggestions.

Its only 140,000 on meter.

Look at the bottom of the oil cap and check for a milky residue, that could indicate water getting into your oil, or you can try pressure testing your cooling system while the engine is hot and see if your pressure goes down, if it doesn't you might have an air bubble in your system so try bleeding the air out of the cooling system.

Default bad signs...

Hey man, another option if your seeing oil in your coolant is a blown gasket. I had the same issue and it was a head gasket. Everywhere i looked said it would be very rare for a blown head gasket but sure enough... Another thing too is that the coolant system is under pressure, including the overflow tank. bubbles in your system could be a culprit for no hot air, you have to let the coolant fully circulate to get the hot air.

Hope that helps a little!
