1991 Other Audi Models Engine Size unknown All Wheel Drive Manual 206, 00 miles

My Audi 200 has the 5 cyl 20v turbo engine. I blew the heater core. Bypassed it. Driving it around on highways was fine. Looking for parking at the mall and coolant has been steaming out of the overflow tank. Badly! I realized that the rediator fan has not been kicking on. So I changed the relay in the fuse box(which looked burned out). Thought all was fine. Got caught in NYC traffic and it started again. Smoking(steam) and pissing coolant all over. What do I do! Please help me. I have plans to drive this car to school 1500 miles away in super hot south FL

I take it all fuses are good? Remove the relay and using a test light see if there is power where it plugs in. Does the fan turn by hand, just want to be sure it isnt bad first. Unplug fan and using jumpers give it power and ground to be sure it works. Get back with results
