Re: Intermittent Water Leak

What is it that'll be leaking. Is it the radiator or a hose that is connected to the radiator?

If it's the radiator, has anybody had any success using a radiator sealant, rather than replacing the radiator?

The aux rads are only used as an additional cooling when coolant reach a higher temperature, otherwise the thermostatic valve stay close, so no water will circulate the aux rads.
Makes sense. Thank-you.

Re: Intermittent Water Leak

There is occasionally steam emits from that corner of the car when I join a traffic queue, so fairly conclusive that it's an aux rad.

Not a clue why it would be intermittent.

Re: Intermittent Water Leak

Thanks folks. It would be good if it was the headlight washers, however it's more than likely the aux radiator!

Intermittent Water Leak

I have an intermittent water leak that appears to come out of the front bumper, in front of the front off side wheel.

Any suggestions as to where the water could be coming from?

Re: RS4 B7 DRC

Like Purso, I'd prefer to keep my car standard, but not at any cost!

Are there any reasons not to go with Coilovers?

Re: Audi goodwill?

Audi via Vindis Huntingdon recently put just over £1000 goodwill towards full DRC line and shock replacement on my car (Dec 06). That was just from asking nicely. I was pleasantly surprised, considering I bought it privately 4 years ago, although I do get it serviced and MOT'd there every year. Sti...

Re: RS4 B7 DRC

What are the disadvantages of coilovers?

I ask this on the basis that the car wasn't designed with coilovers. Is residual price effected by whether the car has coilovers or DRC?

Anybody recommend any specialists in Scotland or North England that can repair the DRC system?
