I am flushing radiator tomorrow and I am curious if the red stuff audi gives u is a 50/50 mixture or if I have to mix it myself.

Also I wanna check my t-belt but I don't wanna take the whole front end off the car. Is there anyway to do that?(I have a v6 30v)

 

is it a 50/50 mixture?

 

which hose guys? is it the black one or the silver one with the huge nut?

 

G12 is antifreeze....which means that it needs to be mixed 1:1 with water...

I don't know about the best way to check the t-belt on a 2.8...should be pretty easy to locate...on the 1.8 you can either pop off a plastic cover at the front of the motor or take a look from the underside....

besides that, when was the last time your t-belt was changed?....the general rule of thumb is every 80-90k....if you don't know when the last time it was changed if ever...I would suggest changing it....a t-belt can look just fine and still break....

well, hope something in there helps....gl!

 

I honestly have no idea when anything was done. I bought the car and they had no records on it. I wanna change the t-belt but I really don't know how and I don't have the time. I am super nervous everyday though that that thing will go. The car has 113000 on it. Which hose do I disconnect to drain the radiator coolant? And is there a diy for the t-belt on a 30v?????

 

audidiy.com is a good place to start

 

your radiator should have a drain plug so you don't have to disconnect the hose. at least it does on the 1.8

if you are going to change the timing belt, you may as well go ahead and change the water pump which should be done before you change the coolant anyways.
