A6 - V6 30V normally aspirated: Coolant after run pump?

[Taka Mizutani]

Scott-
I killed a battery when the starter went on my 200- it tried to turn over
the first time, but didn't do anything. Then it just died- no click,
nothing. Bad starter drained the battery nearly instantly. Replaced the
starter and no issues since then.
