Will be doing a Coolant System Flush. Tips would be greatly appreciated.

I'm following the DIY guide on the following link,

http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...(the-easy-way)

I found the drain cock on the passenger side near the radiator on the Audi A6 C5 Avant Quattro 3.0T. I purchased 10 gallons of distilled water. I purchased G13 Genuine Audi Coolant from Amazon. What the proportions of coolant and water I need to mix in during the refilling process? In other words, how do I make the 50/50 proportion work. Also, what would be the total capacity of coolant in the Audi A6 C5 and how much of the Coolant am I pouring in addition to the distilled water?

Thanks

Get a spare jug or bucket. Pour half of Audi coolant in one, fill the rest of jug with water do same with original coolant jug. You will end up with 2 jugs of 50/50 Audi coolant mix

Thanks, since there will still be distilled water in circulation after doing the flush, should I just pour half of the Audi Coolant into the reservoir? The remaining half (distilled water) would already be in circulation, right?
