Hi Guys,
The temperature issue has inherently got worse over the last couple of months. Initial diagnostics suggested it was the thermostat but replacing that did not fix the issue. I've had it in the garage and the overheating did not occur whilst the mechanic left the engine idling for a number of hours. It only seems to happen when at load, i.e on a run out. Garage changed the thermostat and has tried the water pump etc but could not identify the problem. I am not technically savvy with this kind of thing, hence why I thought I would try this thread. It's looking likely that I will have to secure funds to get Audi themselves to look at the problem which I'm sure you will agree will be quite expensive. It's just a bit frustrating as I've ran Audis for years without any issues and I'm at a loss.
Thanks for your input though.
James
