Re: low Pentosin - Flickering lights



     Andrew's "heavy" cat made him say:

     "I do know the differnce between brake fluid and Pentosin"

     OK, if you please, enlighten an Audi newbie. WHAT THE HECK IS
     Pentosin???? Is it a trade name for some magic elixer that only
     Audis use? My used car did not come with a manual and I haven't
     got a Bentley yet.

     Please save my car from a fate worse than death. I wouldn't want
     it to be filled with mere brake fluid. (BTW is Pentosin - if it
     IS "brake fluid", a 500 degree Hi-perf fluid? how does it
compare
     with DOT-5 racing brak fluid?)

     My flickering light story is the coolant temperature warning
     light on my 80Q will flicker on high-G right hand turns ONLY. ie
     quick rights or hi-speed sweepers. It doesn't ever happen on
left
     handers.

     I checked the coolant level and it's fine standing still. Engine
     temp is normal. I suspect the position of the temp sensor might
     be the culprit.

     TIA
