Default coolant type?

I just had my radiator fix at the radiator shop.... What type of fluid should I use in my much loved audi?

I work at the dealership so any of the new stuff is "easy" to get.


Thanks in advance yah'll!

You can fill it with G-11 coolant (blue) or fill it with the new G-12 coolant (pink). The blue is likely to be in your car already. If you like the more modern pink coolant then a thoruogh flush of the system is required. The pink and blue do not react well together!;-)

Either G11 (Audi blue) or G12 (Audi red) Glad that sucker is fixed!

I had Prestone orange stuff in there before.. so there is no more blue in the system at all.

The radiator was flushed at the shop while they repaired the radiator.

Think I'll go w/ the G12

Thanks Mike.. I can't wait to drive it again... It's been sense Waterfest!!!
