coolant

Nov 09, 2005 3 Replies

I've had to top up the coolant level in the radiator expansion tank on my Audi A2 today. The manual says it's important to maintain a 40% mix of anti-freeze to water but that you can top up with plain water in a emergency (which is what I did). How important is this ratio, and how much liquid does the tank hold? I probably put about a litre into it, and I don't want it to freeze with the cold weather coming up.


If you put a litre in, you've got a leak, which is a problem.

Bearing in mind the age (or lack of it) of even the oldest A2, that is surprising. Have it investigated.

Well, I went and got it checked out and there is no leak, so I wonder all that coolant went!

Anyway, they t> Initially it was a lot less than that. Then, in my haste, I drove off
