Coolant has nothing to do with A/C. Freon is that "liquid" for the ac. Coolant is the liquid to cool down the engine. Which one are u asking about? ))

 

WRONG. The manuf. manual also says oil changes should be done every 15,000 miles. That's the max amount of raping your engine can take. Its a good idea to do it every 60-70k miles. If you pay attention to your reservoir its probly really low. Every car leaks a little or some inevitably evaporates. You can add coolant (G12 only<pink sh*t&gt or get the hole thing flushed.

 

lol ok guys what should i do?

 

If you have actually found a fluid leak then I advise you to fix the leak (probly just a lose clamp or kinked hose) and do a coolant flush if it has never been done. If its been recently flushed then just add 1/2 water and 1/2 G12

 

No no... we are taking different things. One guy talks about freon and AC the OP asked about coolant leak.

 

haha, this is very true. i'm mixing up my fluids, how elementary of me! in any event, i was asking if you could confirm about the freon flush being not applicable. i guess a coolant flush would be required.

silveraudi - sorry for screwing with your head. sincerest apologies!!

 

EDIT: DISTILLED WATER.

Don't go putting Aquafina in your coolant

 

Freon can go out at any time. And it doesn't get flushed it just gets recharged.

 

audi g12 is supposedly lifetime but gets a pretty good flush when you do the timing belt or rear coolant flange... no need to actually "flush" it

Iguess it depends on how often u use your AC.I think mine is on its way out. And i've never heard there is a lifetime warranty ona freon. its like your brake pads, you gotta change them when they are on the way out.

And OP i would just do the full coolant fluch with a new coolant instead of adding the water, make sure it is G12.
