not sure what exactly your asking
you can use just distilled water for the flushing itself
when in normal operation the system should be a 50/50 mix *G12 and Distilled water
IIRC
G12 1.5 liter is pre mixed 50/50 *Should be but please confirm
G12 Gallon is NOT it is concentrated and needs to be mixed w distilled water 50/50

My 1.5L bottle says "Full Strength. Not pre-diluted"

You must use a 50/50 mix, 100% coolant cannot effectively cool the engine

I was asking if I could just put coolant in my radiator after I flush the system I was going to just unplug the screw at bottom and then let gravity do its thing I did not know I have to add water too to my coolant reservoir when I flush it I will put two gallons through and I have the coolant system cleaner from Audi. Does anyone have any DIY for flushing coolant properly?
