Hi everyone, just wondering if someone can help, on my S3 2016 I have a warning light comes up when driving check coolant and turn off engine. Can anyone help with an answer or have had the same message. I have read up a bit on it and they say they are prone to having a water pump issue.
Thanks in advance
Lew

scan the ecu first. thats the first part of diagnosing any issues on any modern day car.
your description means nothing to us. it can be anything and everything.

either get one cheap, expensive, easy, or get help from a friend that has a obd2 scanning device.

I had exactly the same issue and had to change the water pump and housing.

yup thats the normal issue. but always scan it first to see if there is any issues that it may pick up. then do the normal waterpump replacement procedure.
