    Correct way to fill a empty coolant system - audi s2 aby

    Hi ,, the correct way to fill a empty coolant system and what color on the coolant ? ,, i believe i had green coolant in mine. Have to check pictures.
    How much coolant will it take. Original radiator no extra in front.

    Best regards

      I always used the pink one called g12+ or g12++ in my S2..... filling, running idle and bleeding both screws... driving in rough circles a while, bleeding again in idle

                No. It's turns into a horrible brown gunk!

                  I wouldn't do it. They are two different types of coolant, in short the G11 is high silicate non OAT, the G12 is OAT.
