Default 1997 A4 1.8T overheating

Hello,

I need some advise from you all. I have a 1997 Audi A4 1.8T, it started overheating about 3 weeks after the Timingbelt was replaced. I noticed the coolant put in by the shop where I had the work done is "green", and not the red recommended in the manual. Would this be problem? If, I have to drain and replace the coolant, any advise on this?

Welcome to the forums.

As Avant80 stated, you will get a better response there. You'll need the engine flushed and I'd be thumping them on the head with my torque wrench.

Hey welcome to the forums. Yes please post in the correct forum. Yes you should get the correct Pentosin G12 OEM coolant.
