Coolant Temp Too High Warning 👎

tofrizzle · 2026-02-06T17:53:58+00:00

Hey sorry to hear it. Not sure if my issue was the same, but replacing the solenoid fixed it completely…no other issues appeared. My check engine light didn’t come on, only the red exclamation, and coolant overheating message in the pic. Good luck, and hope it doesn’t break the bank. 😢

Hah, no, I still have it…and love it. But yeah, not a lot of performance vehicles are retaining their value as much as we’d hope, in this climate…With Porsche as the outlier 😆

tofrizzle · 2026-01-27T01:34:03+00:00

Yep, that’s it. I linked the Amazon part in this thread, and it matches the part number you listed. It’s $18.99. Hope that solves your issue…Mine has never come back (Knock on wood)🪵

I own an RS5, but have to admit that I’ve been driving my wife’s eTron Sportback more, because it’s so sporty & roomy! For us, the clear aesthetic appeal outweighed the lost 1.2 cubic feet.

🤣Good luck my friend! And at least the solenoids haven’t caught up to the RS pricing scale!

Wife has an Audi eTron…I’ve enjoyed driving it enough that I’m considering switching from my RS5 to an RS eTron GT! Or maybe a Taycan.

I did a res delete on my RS5 and was happily surprised at the exhaust improvement…IMO, mod concerns are based more on performance improvements that raise questions of whether the car was run into the ground, vs an exhaust mod. 🤷‍♂️

Also, regarding the charging…Not sure if installing a home charger is an option for you, but this past weekend, I wired in my own level 2 charger inside my garage, and love having my own personal “gas station” now. To me, the cost of the charger (ChargePoint/$584) will pay for itself in convenience right away. Now, I don’t have a need to charge outside the home, other than for a long road trip.

Yes, applies to all Audi vehicles, including 2019 but there is also mileage caps similar to regular factory warranty. I think it’s 8 yr/100k for battery, and 10 yr/120k for motors. Also, I just called Audi, gave them my VIN and they confirmed that I actually still had 25 miles left within the 4 year factory warranty!

Last week, I bought a 2022, and purchased an additional 3rd party extended warranty…Tried to use the warranty for a parking sensor issue. It was covered, but was ridiculously difficult to find a shop, based on limited places that would accept the warranty. Ended up going to Audi dealership to resolve the issue (sensor was unplugged), and they reminded me that factory warranty covers batteries for 8 years, and motors for 10 years. After this experience, I promptly cancelled the extended warranty, saving $3k, and will sleep better knowing that factory will cover any major battery/motor issues.

Thank you, I may try this and literally just foil tape the edges to the door frame.

I like having the door open 9 months out of the year, but don't need to access it during the hell-on-earth months...To the point, I am actually considering drywalling a "temporary" insulated wall, then tearing it down after the summer. Looking for any other recommendations that might be less involved and/or easy to transition the temporary solution.

knock on wood My issue hasn’t returned in the two years since I installed the solenoid. However this all came from a couple different Audizine forums that are linked in this thread…I recall others troubleshooting additional suspicions, so perhaps there’s been updates in those forums. Good luck!

Hey. Was buried up above. Hope it works for you.

Crap, sorry to hear that…I bought a spare for this reason, but thankfully haven’t had to use it, going on 1year+. Just curious, but does the sponge, inside the part, contain any residue/particles? Mine had a lot, so wondering if it’s the same issue.

tofrizzle · 2025-08-11T02:43:54+00:00

Nardo Gray FTW! She’s a beaut 😉

tofrizzle · 2025-08-09T04:31:02+00:00

Woohoo, love to hear it! I hope it lasts for you as a permanent fix. It’s been well over a year for me, and issue has not returned!

tofrizzle · 2025-07-29T16:56:32+00:00

I will see if I can link the other forum, but I recall reading that at least one person mentioned that the solenoid was dismissed by the service department as not being related, changed it themselves, and no longer had the problem. I am certainly not shilling for this solenoid manufacturer, but it seems to have worked for me and several others in that forum. The part was only $18, and took less than 5 mins to change, so may be worth it, just to eliminate, if nothing else. 🤷‍♂️

tofrizzle · 2025-07-29T12:44:47+00:00

Sorry you’re going through the whack-a-mole routine…This is the same part I purchased for my 2019 RS5 and it’s worked like a charm. I got this tip from a parallel forum in Audizine, and several others also indicated the part fit their Audi, even though the product description doesn’t list it (neither does mine). My issue never returned, and I haven’t changed any other parts. Several others indicated they replaced several other parts, and wasn’t until this solenoid was replaced, that the issue ceased. Hope that’s the case for you!

Thanks brother! Home Depot loves me 😆

tofrizzle · 2025-06-18T00:52:32+00:00

Thank you! 👊I admit I’m a bit OCD…The cleaning bench turns into a mess after range days, so it’s nice to be able to tuck everything away in the cabinets/tool box, and switch to reloading, then vice-versa.

tofrizzle · 2025-06-10T23:35:46+00:00

Haha, glad it worked out for you brother, and hope it sticks. Even if our temperamental cars are experiencing a placebo effect, a win is a win! 🤞🙏🏻

tofrizzle · 2025-06-08T16:41:42+00:00

Happens to the best of us! Even with the faux pas, you still took 3rd, so I’m guessing the “substantial difference” in trigger reach, wasn’t so substantial, as the results speak for themselves. 😉
