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

Well, couple ways to go at this.

For me, I'd keep driving it until the problem surfaces more definetvely. Check it over for obvious leaks before doing so and make sure the system is full and has no air in it and it wouldn't hurt to peek at the rad's front surface and make sure its not chalk full of gunk/grime.

Another relatively good test is to start the car when its STONE cold, and check the overflow bottle for coolant puking out. If its not pouring out of there, you're OK. But make sure to test when the car is COLD.
