The Hazard!
On Audi A4, A5, A6 and Q5 vehicles, foreign particles in the coolant can lead to a blockage in the additional coolant pump and cause the pump to overheat.
A software update, which deactivates the additional coolant pump in the event of a malfunction, must be carried out on the affected vehicles. The additional coolant pump must also be replaced if the malfunction is known to have occurred on that vehicle.
What to do...
Please contact your local authorised Audi dealership.
