Hi everyone, I am completely new to the forum and really need help and advise. I have an A3 where the heater in the car wouldn’t work. I booked it in for a new matrix. To cut a long story short within a couple of days the matrix emptied the hot water in the passenger footwell after steaming up the windscreen and steam out of the vents. I was recovered and the garage “fixed” it. They claim it was a faulty matrix. Within less than a week it has done the same thing. Now apparently another faulty matrix. What can be done.?? Has anyone come across this before?? please could anyone help me? Is this fixable

Good Evening all, Just putting it out there as I've searched and searched with no luck and would really like to know if any one has had the same issue or has any knowledge of this. I have a 2013 Q7 3.0 TDI is done just over 100k. The car warns me of high engine temp and the gage reads 130'c, i can stop the car then re-start and the gage will go down. The rad pipes feel warm but not overheating temperature (touchable) and there is no leaks of coolant. the fans kick in as normal when the engine left running for a prolonged period and also when the temp warning is active. I have swapped the whole thermostat and housing along with a new water pump and new coolant. The other issue is the heating is very intermittent with temperature. I can hear the heating unit through the dash making noises like a valve/motor operating unsure if this is normal as i expect noise when the heating is being altered and flaps changing and so on but not constantly. Could the heating issue be the sole cause of the engine temp warning or is this something as easy as the temperature sensors being inconsistent and then throwing the heating out? I have read on various threads that the car is fitted with two sensors is this correct? thanks for any help really struggling with this and i have a large drive due next week and don't fancy a journey on a recovery truck!
