Checking and Filling
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Facility
and have the cooling system inspected. If the
cooling system is not leaking, a loss can come
from the coolant boiling through overheating
and being pushed out of the cooling system.
A WARNING
The cooling system is pressurized and can be
come very hot. To reduce the r isk of burns
from hot coolant:
- Do not open the coolant expansion tank cap when the eng ine is hot. This increases the
risk of burns.
- Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
- Protect your face, hands and arms from es-
caping coolant and steam by covering the
coolant tank cap with a large, thick cloth.
- Turn the coolant tank cap counterclockwise
slowly and keep light pressure o n the cap.
- To reduce the risk of burns, do not allow any
antifreeze or coolant to drip onto the ex haust system or hot eng ine components .
T he ethylene glycol in eng ine coolant can
catch fire under certa in circumstances.
- The coo lant add itive and the coolant can be
dange rous to your health. For this reason,
keep the coolan t in the origina l container
and away from children. There is a risk of
poisoning.
- When working in the engine compartmen t,
remember that the radiator fan can switch
on even if the ignition is switched off, which
increases the risk of inj ury.
(D Note
Do not add coolant if the exp ansion tank is
empty . Air could enter the cooling system and
damage the engine . If this is the case, do not
continue driving. See an authorized Audi deal
er or authorized Audi Service Facility for assis
tance.
