I recently had a false overheating indication that was caused by a faulty coolant temperature sensor. Once I replaced the sensor, the temp stayed in the normal operating range on the gauge. Is it possible that your sensor is at fault?

Flush the system completely with a quality radiator flush, refill with Audi/VW G12 coolant

the aftermarket radiators on eBay etc are low quality. Audi may still sell a genuine one.

Right, do what SCarGuy says. Don't use stop leak in your coolant.
