Re: Gyeon can coat.
Keep an eye on your temps with the Vagcom or ac display. Might be thermostat causing local overheating and boiling. It then comes out of the expansion tank. Check there for wetness just after a run.

Re: Gyeon can coat.
Confirmed I'm afraid... I had the same problem both with my former S6 and last year with the RS6. From experience it can come and go before breaking for good, but most of those V8 engine need a change at some point. The good news is that when it's done you won't loose a single drop of coolant anymore.

Re: Gyeon can coat.
Had quick look at the expansion tank last night but will take a better look tonite, funny how it stopped tho.
Re: Gyeon can coat.
Also temperature didn't go up during the drive home.
Re: Gyeon can coat.
The fact that it stopped made me think of the expansion tank thing.I had it with my Golf where localised boiling caused the circuit to vent some fluid. Maybe you didn't hit the conditions to cause the localised boiling. Maybe your V51 pump is on the fritz and you didn't let the turbos cool down enough.

Re: Gyeon can coat.
Under the car just now, checked the coolant tank and dry, not a sign of dampness. Underneath is the same no sign of dampness. There was quite a puddle so you would think there would be at least a damp hose or something.

Re: Gyeon can coat.
Thanks vagmachine, purchased just incase. Funny thing is I've now done about 600 miles since then and still no sign of this elusive leak.
