Coolant temperature too high
Hi Everyone,
Yesterday evening, my A7 had gave a 'Coolant temperature too high" warning sign and state: Let engine run with vehicle stationary, It had never gave me any problem except yesterday, and my a7 has only 25km on it, I can't believe this happen so soon, I've check the coolant level and it's normal, I start the car this morning, and idle it for 15mins, everything seems ok, the coolant temperature reading station @ 90 degrees. So I start to drive out and after running the car on the road for 5mins, the coolant reading begins to rise and very soon it reach to the max and the coolant warning sign lights up, so I had to pull over.
Too bad the car had just past the waranty period, so any help or advise will be much appreciate.

Just got mine fixed
Same problem
No big deal just don't drive it
But question is why can't Audi recall it, sooner or later all of a7 12-13 will be overheated and in to the dealer and have the thermostat change

Yes, you guys are right, it's the thermostat problem, and I had let audi service to fix it, and it's all good now, although I'm out of warranty for 6 months but they are willing to waive the parts fees and 70% discount on the labour charge cause my car had only 25,000km on it.
Anyway thanks guys!!

Dropped the car to the dealer and they replaced the thermostat and updated the ECM just like what I thought. Without my Fidelity the total charge was $940. There was actually a TSB on this issue.

It's been almost a year since my factory warranty is out maybe that's probably why and I believe my relationship with my dealer is pretty good considering we have 3 Audi's getting serviced there.
The TSB was 2040491/3.
