[urq] Audi but Non-urq problem

[Bill Bennett]

empty the cooling system, fill it with just water and add about a third of a box of Cascade dishwashing stuff and drive the car with the heater valve open but heater fan off for about an hour, then dump the coolant Cascade mix while Hot by local environmental rules and then flush the system using water from the tap on your home hot water heater tank until clean, again dump the effluent by law. and replace the expansion tank, no way can you get it clean,  Regards, Bill

  Non-Urq but expertise required:
  My good lady's 1992 Audi 100 (2.0L 4 Cyl) recently and suddenly decided to pump all it's oil in to the cooling system (and I mean all it's oil!).
  I could find no sign of a break in the head gasket but it was old and the head bolts didn't seem to be as tight as I have done them up now. The water/oil Oil cooler has been pressure tested and is fine. This leaves the posiibility of internal cracks I guess. But this is not the problem (not yet at least). The problem I need help with is how to get the residual oil out of the cooling system. I have flushed it many times and run it up to temperature several times but have yet to get rid of the all emulsion. 
  Any suggestions on how to get rid of the oil will be gratefully recieved.
  !
  Many thanks

  p.s.There is a tenous urq link here. If I don't get this car fixed I'll have no time this weekend to enjoy my quattro!
