Car overheated all of a sudden, engine started macking clacking noises...
My guess is that my kinda-broken a/c compressor put too much pressure on the coolant system (since it is connected to the same system, I think) and that blew my radiator, which made the car run hot... or something. Car is still in Bavaria, got a free rental Golf Mk7 (thank god I'm in ADAC... german equivalent to the AAA) for the time being. Car will be towed back to me sometime in the coming week, then I gotta take it apart... No idea what to expect yet really. Best case would be if it could be fixed by a new radiator, worst case (which I kinda of suspect) is that I will need quite a few more parts and maybe the head gasket is shot too now since this isn't the first time the car ran hot...
We'll see. Don't really want to think about it atm, haha. Especially since I was planning on going to Gatebil with the car next month...
