audi 80 problem? - nand
dear all
I have an audi 80 2.0E 1993 which has nearly 186000 on the clock.recently have noticed that in slow moving traffic/traffic jams i.e using 1st/2nd gear etc,the engine gets hot rather quickly-about 5 mins or so,which did not happen in the past, The fan comes on obediently but I wonder if this is something to worry about? It has been using oil a lot last couple of years but I do keep topping it regularly.

any thoughts ?

Hi,

It might be that you have a sludged up radiator, a kinked-flat hose, a stuck shut thermostat or some other blockage, internal or external. When you say 'hot', how high does the gauge go?
