For a while my Audi has been overheating a bit. The temperature gauge is between 95C an 100C. It is normally stable at 90C. The temperature quickly goes up in city traffic. I thought it was the thermostat and planned to replace it this weekend. This morning when I started the car the generator and the cooling warning lamps did not go out. The generator belt was not broken, though a little slack. I tightened the belt and after that the warning lamps did go out. After driving about 15 km the generator warning lamp suddenly started blinking. At the same time the temperature dropped and I had a vague feeling that something smelled like it was burned. I stopped the car and checked the generator belt. It was still tight. Aftar a couple of minutes I decided to drive home again. Now the temperature was between 85C and 90 C. When I came home I noticed that one fuse was blown, but it was just a small fuse for the parking light, so I don't think it is related to the other problems. Anyone have an idea of what can be wrong? The engine is quite old (over
560 000 km) so maybe it has done its duty and should be replaced?Thanks /Sven
