[s-cars] S4 Coolant Flush

[Greg Wolters]

Thanks for the input,

Another question... it's 95 degrees out today, heater doesn't go that high.  I can't seem to get the heater on my 94 S4 to come on since it's all computer controlled (no problem on my 4KCSQ!).  Is there a way for me to make the heater come on so I can flush the core?  I want to get all the green stuff out that the
PO had put in.  Drive to Alaska?

Thanks!

Then drained system refilled with hose...ran for 10 min heater on...drained and repeated 2 more times to get ALL the green stuff out.  Then refilled with Audi Blue 50% and distilled H20.
