What should I do if my Audi A2 is overheating?

I've noticed that the temperature gauge on my Audi A2 is climbing into the red. What steps should I take to prevent any further damage?

First, pull over to a safe spot and turn off your engine immediately. Let your car cool down for at least 30 minutes before checking the coolant level. If it's low, add more coolant. If it's not low, you may have a larger issue and should consider taking your car to a mechanic.

Check if your car has enough of the proper coolant mixture for your climate. You may also want to check for any leaks or blockages in your cooling system. It's always a good idea to have your radiator and water pump inspected regularly to prevent overheating issues.

Make sure that your engine's belts and hoses are in good condition. Worn or cracked belts can cause your car to overheat. If you're not comfortable checking them yourself, take your car to a trusted mechanic for an inspection.
