Hi - my A4 is overheating, going upto 110 after just 30 minutes driving at normal motorway speeds. The warning light came on once and then went off again. After I took it in, the garage did a chemical and pressure test and say that the coolant is fine, and that if it was a gasket problem they would have detected it. Now though it looks like it is losing coolant as well, since I've had to top it up twice in the last 2 weeks.

Before we start any more work, could someone suggest where I should be looking first? I got this car from my brother only a few weeks ago, and I'm not very pleased! Thanks for your feedback.
