2001 Audi allroad Logo
Anonymous Posted on Nov 20, 2010

Hi, I have a late 2001 Audi Allroad quattro and I'm having a problem troubleshooting the the coolant system...I have replaced a clutch for the fan, checked the coolant type, level and temp....no problem and I am now about to replace the temp sensor. I still have the warning on the display, but it does disappear occasionally. I have just realized that the heating system in the cabin has a fault and doesn't blow warm air.....is this in any way related? Thanks

    what is the problem just not blowing warm air or something else

  • Anonymous Nov 20, 2010

    what are you diagnosing on the cooling system?

  • Anonymous Nov 20, 2010

    The warm air blowing system has been tampered with in the past and it is likely a wiring issue as no warm air comes out of the system even on 'HI', but I specifically have a problem with the engine coolant system. The warning consistently appears on the dash and usually appears after the 'OK' on startup. I have troubleshot the system, all appears working and normal, however the floating thermometer flashes permanently, and after pressing the pole button it states to shut off the engine check the coolant level. It is exactly where it should be, and the temperature stays at a constant 90.

1- Temperature sensor is the first to be replaced. When it is bad, it generates erratic signals hence the warning is on.
2- Also the bad sensor connector can give this symptom.
3- The heater in the cabin doesn't blow warm air since their is not coolant flowing through the heater coil. this indicates there is a blockage.
4- Has the engine got a new coolant since original one. It needs a complete flush through the heater coil.
5- If you have an overheat then this is a serious problem due to the water jacket gets clogged up. Need a professional shop to fix.
6- If you don't have an overheat problem then just doing # 4 will take care of your problem. Good luck.

    Where do you read the constant temperature at 90?
    If it is from your instrument then how true it is if the coolant sensor is bad?
    My guess is your problem is in # 5. A quick check is to run the engine without Thermostat then feel the water pressure from the hose to see if there is coolant flow through it. You have to remove the thermostat, then put back the upper hose. If there is not flowing then the engine doesn't have an efficient cooling. Good luck.

2005 quattro , battery is dead and hood wont release.Is it an elecrtonic release?

Heidi, No electric release. The latch is probably stuck. While you pull the interior hood release have an assistant push down and pull up repeatably/vigorously until hood releases from stuck position. Lube latch and cable before closing hood. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

Why is my 2001 audi a6 is overheating 140,000 miles

Hi there:the Audi manual never talks about a 2 stage aux fan just that the aux fan runs with ac on and it can run with out ac on if there is an overheat issue on the coolant side where as the a4 info clearly states a 2 stage aux fan system that would lead me to think the early 4.2 did not use a 2 stage system. Your car is not overheating and boiling over out of the coolant tank it is showing a little hotter than what would be perfect but it is still in what Audi calls acceptable range. The whole coolant system is new I would start looking at your sensor and gage systems there is a coolant sensor in the rad but that is most likely new if they replaced the rad. The gage uses a temp sensor on the engine for the gage I would replace that sensor and test the gage with a resistance input tool we have at the dealer. Could be a gouge or the wiring to it. There is a coolant fan module that could be defective if your sure there was a two speeds to the aux fan.
