Engine Cooling problem
1998 Audi A6 6 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic 91000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
My car was overheating. The coolant temp gauge indicated 3/4 to the right. Oil temp gauge climbed to over 250-270. Repair shop replaced fan clutch. The car is still doing the same thing. Both fans are now working and the coolant level is fine. Thermostat? Water Pump? Easy to replace thermostat?
I would be checking the thermostat first, as for ease of replacement.. sorry i have never done one on your type of car, but i feel it will not be difficult.
to remove the thermostat on this car it requires to remove the timing belt if you haven't replaced the t/belt and water pump it's a good time to replace them also
