Has the infamous water pump finally got me?
Wondering if I am cooked here.
‘22 Audi S5 ~52,000 miles.
Have owned this car since 39,100 miles, has been a great time. No issues other than the window regulator going out on the driver side.
Until now… about 2 months ago I had gotten a high coolant temp notification while driving, and it went all the way up to red. Thankfully I was close to home - checked the reservoir, noticed it was a little low, and topped it off. Chalked it up to me just not checking when I purchased. Fast forward to now, issue came back, coolant temp randomly shot up after driving for 5 min. Noticed coolant was low again and found some dried up coolant (I think) around the solenoid. Also noticed some dry coolant around the reservoir cap, which is odd. How cooked am I?
