[tech] what is g12 - same as GM orange? - what I ended up doing.

[Darrell Adams]

Thank you all for the encouraging words to the effect of

"you're a dope, don't change the coolant!"

I like it much better feeling that I'm doing the right thing to wait till I
can get the good stuff.  Even though it's $16 a gallon!

I was able to have someone pick some up from a dealership just before they
closed, so all is good.

now my A4 is happy with the yummy pink G12 coolant it likes, and the new
timing belt tensioner assures I won't be snapping my valves in the near
future.

thanks all for your replies and help!

Will take the orange stuff back to the monkey-boys at the parts place.  I
guess I was in a panic about getting the car back together and wasn't
thinking straight.

'99 A4 1.8TQ - happy to be on the road again, wife happy to be back in her
car
'89 90Q - I'm happy to be in this, rather than my ol' pickemup truck
'90 G60 - still very unhappy waiting for the new engine to arrive.....
