audi a4 b5 - a5 b5 help please - a4b5

Have a b5 audi. engine seems to be running ok, with the exception of a flat spot in second gear low down and a slight rattle/hum/vibration noise in the engine in high gear at low revs. and at idle and when im parked or stopped in traffic the temp gauge goes over 90, sometimes as far as 95

Was a tiny bit of yellow gunk at end of dipstick when I checked but den checked again half an hour later there wasn't. Also a bit of oil in water tank.

Is it f***ed. cant make a mechanic this week due to work, even working paddys day. some slight blue-ish smoke from exhaust this morning too was putting it down to slight overfueling maybe, can smell fuel and maybe it was just fuel fumes.

any tips/advice/help.


Also if worst comes to worst, where could I pick up an Audi a4 engine, 1.6/1.8.
