B8.5 coolant loss 100 ish miles

Hi all got a 2013 Audi s4 cwgc engine

Only just bought the car the other day did all my check before buying of course.

I’ve done about 100ish miles of hard driving and the coolant light came on , and my coolant had just disappeared to minimum or slightly below

No overheating , no milky oil cap, no bubbles in tank when u switch car on while it’s already hot.

No external obvious leaks and no white smoke

Pcv valve thermostat and watepump have not been done, well no proof of it at least so I’m going to presume it’s not been done

Just really scared it’s headgadket or somet but it’s very rare I heard.

Any ideas please. Car drives fine no misfires at all,

previous owner did have issues in January with slight overheating and he said changing all pulleys and belt fixed the issue because one pulley wasn’t spinning apparently ? Coolant looks brand new and he said he can’t remember rhe last time he put his foot down so I’m going to presume me pushing the car hard has found air lock to come to top and push coolant down?

B9 s4 rocker arm UK

It’s on 77k miles seems to have fully service history , but how can I make pre purchase inspection for these rocker arm issue I know you can hear its sound but what about down the line they randomly fail?

Thanks

Starting issue

I’ve just had new engine in intially car was hunting Revving up and down so I took iacv apart and cleaned it throughly now it’s stopped hunting

However the car won’t start now without giving it some initial revs , if I give it revs while cranking the car will start.

Does it require an idle relearn or somet ?

For reference once the cars on it pulls fine no issues and now it’s idling alright not the best but it’s fine for now I think it’s tryna settle

Timing chain

Following my previous post, I have just put on brand new tensioner and chain with the marked links lining up with correct dots.

However once I rotated engine few times the cam marks still don’t line up even? U can see crank is at TDC and the timing tool at back didn’t even want to go in the intake side went into the exhuast side I had to manually turn camshaft slightly ??

Timing marks

I’ve got this engine so I checked timing chain and it was off by a tooth, so I’ve ordered new chain come to do it and manually move camshafts once chain was off because the locking tool wouldn’t go in.

Locking tool is now in but the lines don’t mark up???
