Yes, that would not be a good thing to see! You should investigate further if you are not getting any discs floating.

Hey there! It's not a job I've done TBH, and not one that I would be keen to do either. I'm not sure of the exact process without delving into the workshop software for each pipe, but I know on the S4 (for example) you have to remove driveshafts and likely drop the subframe etc, but nothing too drastic - but that's a simpler car. The parts will not be cheap. Those four lines will likely be $150-$300 each, and the oil cooler is an expensive piece of kit. You should ask them for a break down between parts and labour so you can get a feel what you are paying for. The lines will be genuine only for sure, but you MAY be able to get a non-genuine oil cooler which could save a fair bit. And ask them how involved the process is, and what the job entails. Seems expensive to me, but I have a feeling the parts will make up a good % of that total. It could be done DIY if you are competent, but would not be a nice job and you'd want a ramp really as lots of back and forwards between various locations to get different angles etc and so would be a nightmare on axlestands. Still possible though. Shame all 4 need to be replaced, but if you are doing the job best to do them all just in case. You might be able to find the pipes used in good condition on eBay. Just ensure they are completely rust free, otherwise it's a backwards step. But I've seen VERY clean oil pipes coming off of RS6's before that I'd happily re-use, so they do exist.

Hey there!, So firstly, no the antifreeze change it not necessarily included in the A or B service so that is quite normal. To get it back up to -20C protection, you simply need to top it up with some neat coolant that is compatible with what's in there already. It won't take much. Then just drive the car for a day or two to ensure the coolant has completely gone around the system, and check it again (using a tool like the one in this video). -15C is 'probably' pretty safe for the UK, it VERY rarely gets anywhere that cold, but -20C is a safe ground and good to aim for just to be safe. --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

Hey there! In this video we are using a tester from Sealy. They make two versions, one for Ethylene Glycol based coolants, and another for Propylene Glycol. Just check what type of coolant you have in your car, and get the corresponding one. The colour of the coolant is not always the deciding factor as a few manufactuers of coolant like to play with colours, it's more what it's made of. --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

@@TotalTechnik You should mention there are types of anti-freeze otherwise folk may use the wrong tester. Just a thought!

@Awesome Liberal Indeed mixing water with concentrate is good practise and it adheres to the instructions they print on the bottle.

I've read there's little between the SGs of the different antifreezes to you can probably use one tester for any.

Hey there! If you have the exact same one, then 4 discs floating is protection down to -31C. That should be ideal for Germany I would expect. Take a look at the sticker on the side with the chart, it says the number of floating discs, and says 4 discs (floating) is -31C.

Hey there! Well, they do vary a bit from tester to tester so you should always go by the instructions/key printed on the side of the tester. But assuming you have the same tester as this one, as you mentioned... The number of discs that float tell you how good the coolant is. For the UK we need protection for at least -20C. So for us we need to see our tester floating at least three discs. It can vary country to country on what your target figure is. Some countries are much colder than the UK and so will need more protection (more coolant to water mix). If you only have one disc floating, as you can see on the side of the tester, this is only giving protection to -7C. This is not enough for the majority of countries. So, your coolant needs to be changed if only one disc is floating. This could be because either the mix is too weak, or you have a leak and have been topping it up with just water, or the coolant is quite old and becoming not effective anymore. Either way, you should change that ASAP before the cold weather really hits hard.

Total Technik So it means that always the number of disc floating will have to be on the top of the tester right? I was confused about that. Thank you for your answer

Yes, that is correct. The key on the side refers to how many discs float. One disc floating is not enough, and would indicate a coolant change is needed. --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

Yes, the theory is very sound indeed, depending on your freezer settings of course. However mixing food and antifreeze is not a good idea as it's extremely toxic. And you need 24 hours spare too. But cheaper than buyer a tester though!! --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!

@@TotalTechnik no you wouldn't put it any where near food obviously just put it in an empty draw at the bottom it does the same job as a tester if you haven't got one

Is your tool identical to this one? The important part is how many discs float, and the key to what that means will be printed on the side of the tool. Just reference how many floating discs you have against the key, and that will tell you the level of protection that the coolant has.

As per the key on the side of the tool, six discs floating is not safe to use if standard coolant. That would be a really, really rich mix, almost like concentrated coolant has been used neat. Or a possible issue or comtamination. You shoudl definitely investigate this further if you have six discs floating.

You should check the scale on the side of the tester, but assuming it's the same as this one then 5 is a lot! That shows a very high level of coolant to water, but is still within the 'safe' zone (which is 6 floating discs) so you should be fine. You don't need it that strong for the UK generally, but as long as it's still showing in the 'safe' zone on your scale then you'll be a-ok! Better to have a too-rich mix than a too-lean one!! --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Donations both needed and welcome!
