Audi Coolant Service | Audi Long Beach | California

The actual replacement interval for your vehicle's coolant can vary depending on your exact model and driving habits in Signal Hill. Usage of your Audi on a track, constant driving in stop-and-go traffic, and even towing could mean you'll need to schedule service for an Audi coolant flush sooner than what's recommended in your owner's manual.

The general rule of thumb is to replace your coolant around every 30,000 miles or so, but the exact interval for your vehicle could be longer. With that being said, if you notice any of these symptoms, you may want to schedule an Audi coolant flush service as soon as possible:

• Vehicle constantly overheating

• Coolant leaking from your vehicle

• Coolant burning & causing an unusually sweet smell

• Illuminated coolant or service indicator

• Coolant reservoir appears to have particulates & debris

When you need a coolant service, it's important that you utilize OEM coolant. As you drive around Los Alamitos, your coolant will eventually break down and need to be replaced. Replacing your coolant is vital for ensuring your vehicle can maintain the proper temperature. Using aftermarket coolant could cause certain components in your vehicle to malfunction and even corrode much quicker. Here's why you should use OEM Audi coolant:

• More stable during heavy usage to protect the engine in your Audi
• Audi coolant is engineered for long-term performance
• Maintain an existing Audi warranty with the utilization of Audi coolant
• Can come premixed, so you don't have to worry about the correct mix of coolant concentrate & distilled water
• Engineered to work with metal, rubber, & plastic components in the cooling system of your Audi

You might hear about antifreeze being used to cool a vehicle, but is it the same as coolant? While coolant and antifreeze are often used interchangeably, there's technically a difference. Antifreeze is often a concentrate of coolant that needs to be mixed with distilled water to create the actual coolant that you can use in your vehicle.

The ratios for mixing antifreeze and distilled water can vary depending on your vehicle, so it's best to work with a professional if you'd like to purchase antifreeze. As we mentioned, our parts center can offer pre-mixed coolant, so you don't have to worry about creating the right mixture.
