Can anyone help me? I have recently bought an Audi 80 coupe 2.6 V6. 1996 The car looks absolutely stunning apart from the fact she has an overheating problem. It appears that the water is not fully circulation around the engine which could signal an air lock or blockage. We have changed the radiator, checked the water pump and thermostat, all ok, and we have flushed the system, but still nothing. when the engine is running the top hose pipe to the rad is hot but the bottom one is stone cold. There is also no water running in the hoses that run into the **** pit for the heater. We have been working on this car for a number of hours now and have had all the timing belts off twice. (Not a fun job as anyone else who has done it will know!) Apart from leaving the engine run and taking hose pipes off one by one everywhere to try and find the problem I don't know what else to do. How would this air lock have got into the system? Someone has mentioned about the pan at the bottom of the engine has water flowing thru it and the problem could be there, an ideas guys?
