What are the common causes of engine overheating in an Audi A4?

I've been noticing my Audi A4's engine has been overheating lately, even on short drives. What could be causing this issue and what solutions are available?

One of the most common causes of engine overheating in Audi A4s is a malfunctioning thermostat. This can cause the engine to overheat due to improper temperature regulation. I would recommend having your thermostat checked and potentially replaced.

Another possible cause of engine overheating in your Audi A4 could be a lack of coolant or a coolant leak. This can cause the engine to not receive enough coolant to stay at a proper temperature. I would suggest checking your coolant levels and inspecting for any leaks.
