Huw,

Cooling system check coolant level and add if necessary Bentley/Audi
Manual
This is for 7,500, 15,000, 30,00, 45,000 and 60,000 miles.
So I would conclude that all you do is add for the life of the car.
So to answer your questions what *do* they spec for a change interval,
anyway? I see they dont spec anything for a change interval. Is this false
advertising? Has anyone seen any tests about how long a good brand name
coolant should last?
>I just don't see an $18 jug of coolant every few years>
When it was $11 two years ago, I see that as quite a rise in price. Most
dealers gouge us too much. So that is why I was looking for an equivalent at
a lesser price. However if none can be certified as equal then I shall stick
to the Blue, this is not a problem. I do believe in preventive maintenance.
I am no fool, just a tightwad.
What is the life expectancy of the hoses? Any experiences?
