Default Awesome. The TT overheated this weekend. Thought it was just electrical (because the coolant temp

light came on 30 seconds after turning the car on...and 3 mins later, the needle was buried on H.)

Evidently, I was wrong. The dealership just called, and evidently the whole coolant system was f*cked. Don't know specifics yet, but they said something about it all blew out onto the bypass valve?

Anyone have a similar experience or have any idea what caused this?

Default I had a stage 3 turbo...

And I drove it with the heater on after that. Hopefully you'll be OK.

Default Funny... my heater was on when this all happened.

And when I got it to the dealership, I noticed leaking coolant dripping from the nose...kinda under the FMIC.

Default Not long. Maybe 10 mins if that... she said my engine didn't overheat, which is weird...

But half way to the dealership, the needle flipped quickly all the way to C, and just stayed there.

Odd.
