What does the coolant light on my Audi dashboard mean?

It could be a good idea to have your Audi TT Quattro radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.

What is causing my TT Quattro to overheat?

If your Audi TT Quattro engine overheats, it could be because of a clogged radiator, a damaged thermostat, a faulty cooling fan, a malfunctioning water pump, or low coolant levels.

Why does the radiator in my TT Quattro sound like it’s rumbling or boiling?

There could be air pockets in your TT Quattro’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
