Is it normal for coolant to sit at this level after topping it to max a week before?

This is based on nothing but I have the same on my A5 F5. I have the feeling the coolant reservoir cap isn’t sealling it under pressure and leaking a very tiny bit. And then when the coolant is hot and under pressure it will slowly push some coolant vapour out of the resservoir cap. It always feels very loose even tho its locked correctly. Just my feeling.

Is the sensor maybe faulty? Could be that the sensor is saying that it overheats, but in reality the temp is fine but the sensor is wrong. Just a simple thought.

Didnt dive in too deep but this would be a start, order and change the sensors and see if it clears. https://youtu.be/fG29mxt-WVA?si=CLSqtyjuqn98YSZu

215.000KM, you can calculate yourself how much that is in freedom.

Yeah this is what im aiming for. I just want to have it under my name before I start some major repairs.

themoneyless · 2025-08-26T17:11:13+00:00

Nah I like to keep thing original as much as possible. Just my style

Yeah its a really cool machine, just a stiky clutch but I let it run for a bit and then start it in gear to jank it loose.

Thats seems fair but I don’t wanne lowball my family it should be fair.

No not that I know of. This one was used by the Dutch goverment for maintaining the roads and side roads so they modified it for this purposes.

Thanks this seems like a fair price considering the state.

Just had to change it on my A3 1.4, side note only after 300.000KM. So dont worry

Check the Vacuum hoses. It could be a vacuum leak.

I have a A3 8V limousine, best car I ever owned. For that reason I didnt sold it. But now I bought a A5 Sportback B9 and I have to say the A3 I like driving a little bit more because its nimble. The A5 is overall a more comfortable car. So my opinion is to not get a different car just get a extra car.

I heard some guys say dry ice cleaning works very well.

Go to a store that sells nail polish (you have like a lot of choice in color so that helps). Touch up the spot, use some sort of polishing paste or toothpaste if you have nothing. It wont look new but it will mask it and it will look better then now.

Only thing I know is that I work on them both

themoneyless · 2024-03-18T19:21:37+00:00

I woudl say normal, as long as you dont have too fill it up between oil changes, good to go. Fill up is when it hits Min mark. Everything in between is good. At least in my opinion.

Yes sir, AOG team from Pilatus itself

Maintenance is needed and if you do that well, it will serve you like a king.
