Default Coolant leak+whole system flush. How much will that cost me?

Started having a leak on my 2001 a4 friday. Light came on on saturday so I had to add whatever I had on hand. Green coolant.

So now I guess I'll have to ask them to flush the system.

Why didn't you just add water?

Default It said "safe for aluminium engines". Did'nt think there was something wrong with a different color

until I checked on the web later.

Also I had to add 1 liter over 2 days so I'm guessing that the water/coolant balance would have been too far off anyway.

Sounds like you have a leak to fix too.

Not that I can see. I only added about 1 liter of the green stuff. Car is at the dealer now.
