I was just out admiring my new 1.8t engine, and I noticed one of the fluids is below the marked line. Is this something I need to fill right now? What IS it?






Thanks
Kyle

 

yes it is, im sure suprised ur CEL didnt come on
its your engine coolant

 

Oh alright.


Yeah it's about a cm below the low line. My engine temp is about 200 - 250 still, and it's like 115ยบ here... weird!

Is this something I can just pick up at my local autozone? Is there a specific type I should look for?


Thanks alot,
Kyle

 

what color is it casue audi switched at point
the manual says G12 A8D but i bought[&o] and use from the audi dealer G12 A8FA4

 

It looks like a yellow-orange-ish color. I'm not sure cause it's SUPER dark out there and my only light is my cell phone screen. [sm=smiley17.gif]

 

is your car overheating?

 

Nope, I was driving around town running errands for like 5 hours today in 110ยบ+ heat all day, driving very spiritedly, and the guage never went past straight up (i think it's 250)

 

G12 A8FA4 is pink

and petermcA4 damn you sig is birght and sharp

 

What color is the other one?

 

thats weird i got my oil changed the other day and they asked me if I knew my coolant level was low. So I slowly loosened the cap and as it made the shhhhhh sound the level came back exactly to the line. So I figured the fluid was running through the system and wasn't in the resevoir and the mechanic agreed with me. Should I fill it up? or will that cause overflow? sorry for stealing this thread.
