If the coolant isnt bled of trapped air the car will overheat.

Re: OVERHEATING! Dual Core EG Rad not Good Enough? A6 Turbo

I might just be ------- stupid

Why does it matter which way the air would blow as long as its blowing at the rad?

Mine pushed the air out to the front, threw the rad and outside the car

Its a slim fan from turboef

Is it wrong? ----, I had no idea

Go out driving at 60mph, stick your head out the window facing forward and then hock a lugi. You'll understand real fast.

Re: OVERHEATING! Dual Core EG Rad not Good Enough? A6 Turbo

if by chance it is headgasket leakage. would it be even worth a try to torque down the head bolts again , double checking them? idk i am having a similiar problem...

Sometimes retorquing blown headgaskets works, if only for a hot minute. For the most part - especially with the composite gasket typically found on an A6 - it's pointless.
