What are the common issues to check for in the Audi 80's cooling system?

I've noticed my Audi 80's temperature gauge is rising higher than normal. What should I look for in the cooling system to troubleshoot this issue?

First, check the coolant levels and top off if necessary. Next, inspect the radiator for any leaks or damage. Also, check the thermostat for any signs of malfunction. It's also worth checking the water pump and hoses for any wear or leaks. If all else seems fine, flushing the cooling system and replacing the coolant may help resolve the issue.

Hi, Jamie. It's important to regularly maintain your Audi 80's cooling system to avoid overheating and potential engine damage. In addition to the steps mentioned above, make sure the radiator fan is functioning properly and check the condition of the drive belts. If the issue persists, it may be best to take your car to a professional mechanic for further diagnosis and repairs.
