Hi All,
Im in the middle of an engine pull to replace the transmission and I would like to prep on what I need to do after I have installed everything.
Normally I would just fill the radiator and begin "burping" the system BUT considering that this car seems to have a lot of little specifics done I figure Id ask.
Is there anything special I need to do to fill the coolant or would it be the same method I mention above?
and considering its Audi I take it I cant use the regular Autozone brand coolant.
Would Peak OET OE Engine Coolant be sufficient?
Otherwise, I guess I can go looking for some pentofrost.
Thank you
Is there any special way to refill the coolant? and what coolant do you use?

You can pull the hose going to the heater matrix at the bulkhead (can't remember which one of the two) back about 1/2 inch or so to expose a little bleed hole. You should bleed here.

Yeah, as shopping said. Plus another 10mm bleed bolt on the hard coolant pipe on the RHS rear of the motor. All in the service manual.
Iirc any old orange OAT is fine.
