Basically was driving normally when the temp guage suddenly starts flashing red an beeping, the temp continues to rise to over 100, so 2 days later without driving (been working silly hours) i tried topping the coolant up and turn the key, no beeping or anythin but after about 5 mins the same again with loads of water leaking from the very bottom of the radiator...is it the full fecked?

Cheers

You sure its leaking from the rad itself? Might be the pipe feeding the radiator thats been pierced open from rubbing against the fan bracket. I had this happen to me and so have other cupra owners iirc. Worth a look!
