UGH!! I just put some in my '92 100S, and am now told that it is probably
not worth it!? I knew I should have posted the question before I bought the
stuff!! Hmmm... I don't recall seeing any little oily balls (yet?).... but
yep, I too have not seen any drop in temp either.  I did see a drop in temp
in the '87 Bonneville I had, so could it be because of the phosphate-free
requirement of der Audi gods?

My question now is: will having it in there (i.e. oily balls et al...) do
any damage to my car? Should I have it flushed?

My fingers are crossed!!
