[A4] RE: [s-cars] Antifreeze ? Anything enique?

[Luca Babini]

Luca here. Just bought an EARLY 1999 A4 2.8 Avant and was about to go to
the local gas station to get the antifreeze changed for the upcoming
Vermont Holiday...but WOW...this does not seem as simple of a task as
with other cars. So, thank you for starting this discussion in time to
stop me and PLEASE let me know what goes in my A4 G11 or G12?
Luca

Point well taken, Igor.  I was referring specifically to the urS4 which
Bruce was asking about.  Bentley call for the G11 for these engines.
Mixing G11 and G12 is a no-no.

Rich,
I see that you have CC:-ed the A4 list. The colour of Pentosin for most
A4-s is RED! The p/n is G 012 A8 D. According to my A4 Bentley mixing
the two  will cause a major damage to the engine. Bentley provides a VIN
cutout, somewhere in the 1996 m.y. if memory serves me right. Be very
careful, folks!
