Gareth, Cheers for everything and everyone

Arun. It’s a 1 man garage and he does my MOTs I just popped in on driving past and he had a delayed customer so quickly looked at mine and found it in 5mins!!
-
Arun, I got lucky!! I’ve just had a pressure test done and a pinhole leak was found on a small expansion box return hose which ran along the bulkhead. It was swapped in 10mins and the mechanic only wanted £20 cash!! I cannot believe how lucky I was!!

Cheers Arun, hopefully it’ll be a leaky hose!! 🤣

Thanks again, if it is the water pump/thermostat do you know any upgrades rather than getting an original part if they’re that bad.
-
Arun, Thanks very much for the advice I’ll look into it tomorrow. Much appreciated.

I’ve never had the water pump or thermostat replaced (40,000miles). I’ve done the usual checks like no bubbles from the expansion tank, no smoke from exhaust or foam from oil cap. I can’t see water leaking from anywhere
-
Arun, yes from the coolant system although I can’t find a leak anywhere. I just need to top up the expansion water tankevery month or so

I have a RS4 2013 with 40,000 miles and I am loosing about 1l of water a month although I don’t appear to have a leak. I’ve checked for head gasket issues but am receiving no signs. Are there any other issues that I can check before taking it to a garage.

Hi, Any ideas regarding replacement rear discs & pads on a 2013 RS4? Many thanks
