What are the common causes of overheating in a Audi 80 and how can it be addressed?

I recently noticed that my Audi 80 has been overheating frequently and I am worried about any potential damages it could cause to my car. What are the common causes of this issue and what can I do to address it?

One common cause of overheating in an Audi 80 is a malfunctioning radiator. This can lead to inadequate cooling and ultimately result in the engine overheating. Have a mechanic check and replace the radiator if needed.

Another possible cause is a faulty thermostat, which regulates the flow of coolant to the engine. If the thermostat is stuck closed, it can cause the engine to overheat. Replace the thermostat to resolve this issue.
