Hi all, on a leisurely drive today taking in the sunshine I pulled over to have a quick drink and talk with a friend. After leaving the car for 10 mins, when I returned I was greeted with a lot of white smoke and a warning saying to stop engine and check coolant. I did and the bottle was empty. As I was in the middle of no where with no phone signal, I filled the coolant up with water from my bottle and headed home ASAP. After a few miles the smoke cleared and the coolant lasted. As I was pulling onto my drive the coolant light came on again. Topped up and started the engine and hello smoke.
Car is a 2014 A4 B8 facelift. 2.0tdie 136.
Now I thought the days of head gaskets blowing were gone in modern day cars but I may be wrong.
There doesn't seem to be an rise in oil, no white gunk in the oil cap so I assume water is leaking into one of the cylinders? No loss of power at all.
Any opinions?
Thanks!
