In a healthy engine there should be zero coolant loss at all. Having said that, make sure you are checking your coolant level appropriately. If you check it one day when it's cold, but then the next day check it when it's warm it is going to look much different. Make sure you are always checking it cold, or always checking it warm.

@@AudiC7Owners Thanks so much! I have been checking first thing in the morning each day before I start it up to keep it consistent. So I guess it’s time to start searching around! Thanks again for all the tips. Will be watching this video again once I get the car up this weekend.

Thanks! I have a few comments/questions. 1. My water pump just went. I have been getting smells and some white speckling in the engine bay and belts but not a lot of coolant loss. I thought I would have time. Then I got on it one morning and arrived at work with it smoking. I looked an fluid was pouring out. I pretty much lost the contents of my reservoir. I assume it's the pump. I ordered everything from FCP Euro include t-state belts, gaskets, etc. However, I know my PCV body needs replacing (codes, oil burn and some coolant loss), but due to money and the extra time it will take to do that, I'm just going to focus on the water pump and t-stat. I need to get my car back on the road, but removing t-stat will require supercharger removal. Would you just do water pump and belts and wait to do the t-stat when I do the PCV body? Coolant isn't cheap, so I'd hate to have to go trough 4 gallons of it. 2. Where did you find the supercharger coolant pump? I have a 2015 Q5 TFSI 3.0 and it seem no one carries it. Crazy FCP Euro has it for everything but my car/model. 3. I have Blue Driver OBDII with IAT readout and CACT (charge air cooler temp B1/B2). Plus boost, coolant temp, Engine RPM and TCA CINP (turbocharger compression inlet pressure) on the HUD. Is this a viable option?

I have a 2009 Audi A4 Quattro V6 3.2L FSI (CALA engine code) and I'm dealing with a coolant leak which is pooling up under my IM. I recently had the coolant system flushed and the thermostat replaced bc the shop I take my car to (when I don't have time to do the repair myself) identified the t-stat as the culprit. At first it appeared they found and fixed the issue, however, not long after the t-stat was replaced, I noticed the coolant level dropping again and immediately checked under the IM and noticed a pool of coolant again. I took it back to the shop and they removed the IM and checked that the bolts holding the t-stat housing had been torqued to the proper spec which they said everything there looked good and checked the coolant pipes and said they couldn't identify where the leak was coming from and suggested to take it to the Audi dealership. I should mention that they also replaced the short hose that connects the thermostat to the coolant crossover pipe on the front, as well as installed a new O-ring on the hard plastic coolant pipe that connects the t-stat to the heater core hose. I would rather not take it to the Audi dealership and thought it may be coming from the crankcase breather valve (PCV/Oil separator) and have already ordered/received the parts to do the repair myself. I know replacing this part would be good preventative maintenance, however, as I am sure you already know it's a pretty time consuming repair and in doing additional research (of course after I received all the parts), I am not finding any facts stating where others have had coolant pooling under the IM that was directly related to the PCV/Oil separator and I want to ensure that the PCV/Oil separator could at least potentially be the cause before proceeding with the repair. I've only been able to find cases where the PCV/Oil separator is linked to mysterious coolant loss which is ultimately found to be contaminating the oil, versus actually leaking from the PCV/Oil separator itself and pooling under the IM. I've checked my oil to ensure this isn't also happening and my oil looks to be in good shape...knowing the leak is coming from somewhere near the underside of my IM, what are the possible culprits? TIA for any assistance you can provide

@AudiC7Owners

I'm not super familiar with this engine even though it is very similar to the 3.0t (same block). It certainly could be the oil separator, but failures of those on the 3.2 are very rare. If it were me, I'd pressure test the system to find where the leak is coming from. Remove the intake manifold, clean up the coolant you see, pressurize the coolant system, look for the leak.

2021 Audi S7, bought about a year ago only put on 7k miles and coolant reservoir was bone drive when the light came on. Dealership claims no issues however after refilled it's leaking again. pressure tests say no issues, any thoughts?

having heavy coolant loss after operating vehicle (overnight) looks to be water pump but shops haven’t been able to diagnose . would be more than appreciative to get in more contact and use your help to diagnose

However, I just replaced all of them about two years and 20k miles ago...so. Any suggestions? As I said, it's nothing obvious from the suggestions in the video.

Love the channel! Recently picked up a super well maintained Audi A6. Previously had an SQ5. The water pump on this vehicle was replaced 40k miles ago (when it had about 60k miles on it) but 8 years ago. The car now has a 100k miles so I thought I would be safe for a while. Im still diagnosing it but all signs point to the water pump. Lots of coolant on the ground and coolant under the intake plenum/on the hoses which appear to not be leaking. What are the chances of a water pump going at 40k miles on these engines ? Previous work was done at the dealer.

Thanks for the quick reply! I’m 95 percent sure it’s the waterpump, I just wasn’t expecting it after 40k that’s what’s throwing me off. As soon as I top up the coolant reservoir it’s starts dripping fast from the middle under the pump area. Another test I did was I listened to it with a stethoscope and it doesn’t sound smooth unlike the supercharger pulley. It came sudden no real signs and then just coolant light a lot of coolant in the driveway. I’ll pressure test to get 100 percent

Hey Cameron, I have been watching your channels for quite some times now and you gave a lot of good advices. I have 2014 Audi A7 and recently I changed PCV Valve, thermostat, water pump, remove inner coolers on the supercharge, and drained the radiator and refilled the radiator fluid using pressure filled method. I have two issues i cannot solve, 1) I still get the vacuum pressure at the oil filler gap after the PCV valve replaced and 2) I have no heat when I push auto regardless what temperature I set until I crank it up to Hi setting, then I can hear and feel the heat. I can adjust the heat fan speed, temperature, and vents manually and it works just not in auto mode. The AC runs fine, no problem at all so I know all the components work. I think it may be something with adaptation or basic setting that i may have messed up. Do you have any suggestions I need to look or check, thanks in advance.

@AudiC7Owners

Hey man. 1) the engine is a pressurized system so you will always have some vacuum on your oil filler cap. 2) I would suggest you manually bleed your heater core to make sure that isn't the issue. Having said that, I've never used auto in the hvac before. I don't think there are any adaptations you need to do.

Hello Cameron. I have a 2013 A7 that after having the timing chain and gears replaced close to $9000.00, I started having cooling leaks immediately afterwards. The shop says it is nothing they did and I could not afford to keep putting money in for them to check. I'm a pretty decent mechanic so I pulled the super charger off since that is where he said the leak was coming from. I replaced the thermostat, heater core pipe on top of the motor, and the front crossover pipe. Got it back together and found that it was still leaking from the front. I changed the water pump since it appeared to be from there now. Shortly after changing it I got a leak again. Coolant is pooling up on top of the motor. I pulled the super charger again, capped the hose and pressure tested it and I can see the coolant building up on top driver side. Nothing leaking out of heater pipe, no visible leak from the thermostat. Is it possible to be leaking out of the PCV valve? I checked and there is no coolant in the oil. It's driving me crazy.
