Most responsive S5 cloolant gauge ever? The vert's endless problems.

[Max777]

Well, drove it to school today, it warmed up relatively fast to normal temp.

My car also has what you call a surge. One of the guys I met at my friends house the other day, when he was doing a 5 lug swap on his 240, said that the surge could be caused by low coolant, and the previous owner had to ghetto rig it because of the coolant buzzer was going off... and I think he also mentioned the leak. The thing is, I drove it 170 miles home, and it didnt overheat, the gauge stayed at the same place the whole time.... the car exibits hard starting at times, both hot and cold, and that surge, and the clutch I think is going out...

but other than that, the thing drives pretty damn well, so is that a sign of a good thing?

I didnt go out to luch today because I didnt want to fuck up the car... driving it home at 3:00 and will post if I get any problems. I'm thinking I want to tear into it this weekend, seeing how my thermostat and master cylinder will be here by then.
