Default Not really...considering...

Audi's goodwill 50% off deal. Mat@4induktion indicated he would charge .5 for the coolant tank, maybe another .5 for the flush and fill. 6 for the mounts, and over 10 for the seals. At a reasonable $75/hr that's $1275 labor I spent $1336. Parts would have almost certainly been cheaper, but parts were only $425 same parts through ECS would have run me about $390.

Default AFAIK, you don't need to flush when you change the coolant reservoir.

Just pinch off the hoses, siphon out the existing coolant, replace the reservoir, and refill.
