2001 Audi a6 2.8L Super Flush

[Kearney36952]

Ok so a little while ago i mixed coolant. I feel like i should be put to sham ... But now i need to do a super flush so to speak . It's been in there for a little while and im seeing some black stuff in the coolant tank. The A6 operates fine. But now i'm stating to get worried since i found out that's a big F&^% up on my part . I want to know how i can clean it good and how much G12 or G13 im going to need.

i would bite the bullet and go to the dealer and have them do a complete flush and refill with g13
should take about 2 gallons mixed

[Kearney36952]

Trust me i thought of it but i dont trust them to do a god job. but 2 gallons mixed? so that like 1 gallon of G13 and 1 gallon of
distilled water

Take your time and don't use a flush.

If you are confident, do it yourself. If not go to dealer like toast said

Are you saying replace the water pump? i did. all that stuff was done November. But i know i can do a flush but i was just wondering if theirs some chemical booster that i can run though the cooling system. to clean it good. theirs a lot of good right ups for a flush out there.

No no, just wanted to share the article and that you shouldn't use a flush. Just water as stated in the article unless you're going to run a good amount of tap water through the system.

oo ok yeah thanks they have meticulous articles nad i like them but yeah im going to run a lot of watter through it to clean it out and maybe some prestone cleaner.

[Kearney36952]

ok i cleaned it out and drove around for a day with Preston cleaner and distilled water no thers only water coming out but.. i cant figure out how to do a mix of 70 antifreeze 30 water 70/30 mix. like how much of either? idk i just cant wrap my head around the math i guess.

I dont know the capacity of your 2.8 but on my 2.7t i flushed it many times with clean water and after thr final flush i dumped a gallon of G13 concentrate and topped it off with water. Having no issues and coolant tester says im good for 20 below

[Kearney36952]

tbh that's like the same as i did i did a gallon of g13 and and 2L of water and topped it off with g13. the test does not show anything it maxes out at -45 but i think mixed it more for like -85 below i think according to the back of the g13 jug.

Be mindful with your antifreeze concentrations. The higher the concentration of antifreeze the lower the heat carrying capacity.

I read you are not to go past 70/30 and thats for artic climates. I wouldnt trust that mix.
