    Hey does anyone know how much uncut coolant is needed when doing a timing belt job if draining the system on a A6 2.7t? I noticed some kits come with four 1.5 liter g12 bottles and others come with just two, the kit I got came with two 1.5 liter bottles of Pentosin, should I get two more or just split the two with distilled water and not worry about it.

    I use 50% coolant 50% distilled water. Unless you live in super hot or super cold temps I think you should be ok with 50/50 mix

    from what i can remember talking to the parts guys, the system takes 2 gallons +/- a couple of ounces

    I guess I'm trying to figure out if I will have enough with just the 3 liters undiluted and 6 diluted if I have to drain the system from the bottom.
