Why does my Audi A3 engine overheat?

I've noticed that my Audi A3 engine has been running hotter than normal. What could be the cause of this issue and how can I prevent it?

It's important to regularly check your coolant levels and make sure they are at the proper level. Low coolant can cause your engine to overheat.

Another common cause of engine overheating is a faulty water pump. It's important to have this checked and replaced if necessary.

If your air filter is clogged, it can restrict airflow to the engine and cause it to overheat. Make sure to replace your air filter regularly to prevent this issue.
