Well, if it is just he color that's the problem, I'd like to throw in that I
have used the prestone orange extended life in 5 Audis -- 2 4ks, 1 4kq, 1
80q, and a 200q20v and I have had no issues that can be referred to as coolant
related. Average miles driven per vehicle -- 150k plus (30k on the 200q20v).
Average mileage per vehicle when I got each -- 125k (213k on the 200q20v).
Timing belt changes and waterpumps every 60k miles or so, including refills
with orange prestone extended life.
It's worked so far...
