I just picked up the car yesterday 2000 a6 2.7 with 106,000 miles. At first, everything seemed fine. This morning I started her up and she was running still for about 20 minutes when my wife told me that there was green fluid flowing at the back of the car. It smelled like antifreeze (I think green is the wrong recommended color base on when I've read this morning). When I checked under the hood, it was empty and the light was on in the car. I’m planning on dropping it off at the local Audi dealership first thing tomorrow to see if its fixable first before brining it back because, I really fell in love with it during the drive home last night. PS I’ve owned BMW’s all my life and currently is the process of converting my M# to full race so I thought this would be a great car for daily driving in NJ. Any ideas on what the issue could be? HELP!!!

 

green is the right word check for burst coolant pipes

 

I would even know how to check but is this common?

 

G-12 is the propper antifreeze. It is red.

 

took it to the Audi service center today. Need to replace the secondary coolent pump and flush the system due to the wrong coolent ($1,450 WOW). I have two BMW's and I just thought Audi's were a little less on the repair side...
