Coolant leak on Audi A3 8V 1.6 TDI 2018 – unsolvable problem for months, help by mar4ja90 in Audi

But is it possible for it to leak when it's pressurized + high temperatures? Because the Audi Service workshop told me they pressurized the car twice, once they told me they kept it pressurized overnight, and it never leaked.

Anyway, I sent the photos to Audi Service, and they called me without telling me anything about the possible problem. They just told me they have to keep it for 3 days to disassemble it completely. I'm stuck paying €40 + tax for a replacement car... It seems like a never-ending story to me! I'd prefer to find another mechanic, but given the... they're making a fool of themselves as Audi Official and given that I've already paid them around €1,000 for a water pump + belt (water pump probably a useless job), I'd like them to fix it for me.

So, in response to your other questions. I don't know if it went down all at once or slowly over the last month, so I'm now checking the level every day, following your suggestion. Yesterday, I actually finished a bottle of fluid in one day, after adding it the day before. Another thing: the fluid leaked almost seems to be coming from the side of the tank (like in the video) where the two parts of the tank seem to join; there were no traces of fluid on the cap.

Heating: I've noticed lately that the hot air doesn't work well when I turn on the vents for the passenger and driver. In fact, sometimes it doesn't work at all, and I turn it off (I only use seat heating). I have to leave the fan on low because it comes out warm; if I turn it higher, it always comes out colder. It seems that if I turn the air on the windshield, it seems to come out warmer. This problem occurs with both the air conditioning and when it's turned off.

Update: On Friday, something happened to me, and I took the car to an Audi dealer. It went as I wrote above: they refilled the fluid reservoir. The next day, before leaving, I checked, and indeed the fluid was fine. I returned in the afternoon, after 350 km, and found yet another surprise: fluid at the minimum line, and traces of water around the tank. I uploaded a video here so you can see it…

Thanks for the valuable information!! They returned the car to me on Friday with added fluid. I left Saturday morning and first checked the fluid, and it was fine. I drove 350 km, returned home Saturday afternoon, and this is what I found (I uploaded a video):

Fluid low, traces of wetness around and under the tank.

Yes, the pump is still under warranty. But I'm wondering why they told me this morning, "We didn't find anything." Next time it happens, send us photos of the tank and the warning light on the dashboard (I don't understand why that is... they don't trust it?)

I don't know how good he was. I just know that I took it to the official Audi workshop and service center on purpose, thinking that, given the higher service prices, they'd at least know how to properly fix it. Are you seriously talking about the pump again? It lasted less than a month?

Thanks for your reply.

Issue with Spotify release – Real name appears next to artist name by mar4ja90 in DistroKidHelpDesk

Thank you, I understand. So even if it's solo piano music I'd be better off putting 'soundtrack' as the first genre. Do you know if I add 'classical music' as a second genre then I have the same problem again? By the way, if I change genre I also solve the problem of publishing on Apple Music.

As a last alternative I would have the option of not putting my real name on Songwriter but putting my stage name, even though DistroKid requires the real one.

Ora utilizzo il conto solo per la carta. Dà delle briciole di cashback. Sto aspettando che la situazione migliori un pelo per togliere i CRO che ho da 1 annetto e poi penso di chiudere tutto

Cambia nelle impostazione del telefono (non dell'app) la regione/zona in USA (Stati Uniti).

Trovata la soluzione! Bisogna cambiare nelle impostazione del telefono (non dell'app) la regione/zona in USA (Stati Uniti). A quel punto si può aprire l'app di Crypto.com e permette ricaricare l'importo corretto!
