- How do you drain water from the engine and the radiator while the whole thing looks so complicated?
Step 1: Remove Underside cover
Step 2: Get needle nose or normal pliers.
Step 3: Leave your ego and tough guy attitude elsewhere and go nice and easy.
Step 4: Turn the drain plug slightly counterclockwise with the plier and keep turning and pulling using your hands and the nose of the needle nose in any grove in the plug. You will have the the water start to drain in an orderly fashion.
Step 5: Open the filler bottle cap so it drains faster and turn on your engine because its an electric water pump. When you see low coolant message in the screen turn off your car.
Step 6: Close the drain plug to the same position you found it when your removed the cover.
Step 7: Add Audi coolant and 2&1/4 bottles of distilled water till the water reaches max mark. keep Engine running till you keep filling up the distilled water or their will be air. You must ensure there have been no leaks below from the drain plug. Keep observing again and again. Hope you didnt pull any of those hoses or you are screwed!
Step 8: Stay awesome and wave your middle finger to the dealership. Cover yes of course you must put that back on you whiny brat.
This only drains around 30% of the coolant.. There is still coolant in the heater matrix and engine block anyone wanting to do this know this will only drain around 2-4 ltrs the a4 can hold 10-12 ltrs
I’m actually currently attempting to drain the coolant from my 08 A4, do you know the best way to drain the coolant from the block?
@@eliasmuraski1719 From what i can see online and others, i suggest it will need vacuum draining / filling. Most garages will have this equipment.
This is why I bought my Audi. Not having to worry about pulling hose.
Actually i have done that too and its easy peezy….there is a metal pin on them all just pull it up and pull it out…perhaps you do not want to touch your car but in emergencies this will save your life.

Lol, I was making a joke "hose/hos".
Not to take away from the video though.
I wanted to know where the drain plug/screw was before I worked on the wife's A5 tomorrow - she accidentally put screenwash in there. 😬
But yeah, I do most stuff myself, just never had to do this before.
Thanks again!
@@Takeitlightly6 unless the person before u neglects it and runs it on no coolant, cracks the coolant reservoir and melts the plastic shroud in the oil pan so that plastic in the pickup screen deprived ur engine of oil for who knows how long and then from it overheating so much and him continuing to do small commutes he melted every hose u speak of that’s like that on the engine (ofc this has nothing to with u ) just thought I’d add a funny story of my a4 🤣🤣😭😭
Having to remove the front belly pan is far more work then pulling a lower hose. I'm currently draining my A5 so ask me how I know.
Very helpful. You’re the man!
NN know
Why are you dumping coolant on the ground... 🤦
I wont be sleeping or eating from the ground, i dont have a low enough bucket, and the job was done on the road outside my house. And there wasn’t enough clearance too. Could have pulled a bucket if i moved but didn’t have a bucket to begin with.
@@Takeitlightly6 how do you have an Audi if you don’t have a bucket?
@@user-yd7cu4vx7f i stole it
Agree, the coolant attracts dogs and cats and they will get poisoned, the stuff also will be in the ground for a while will make its way into water system. Man this is bad… never do that. Go to dealer if you din’t have bucket or tray to collect poison, dealers are qualified to manage those chemicals😳
@@Takeitlightly6 me too! ive had my neighbors fob for a few years so I just drive it, gas cards in the car he probably thinks his kid drives it, he's gone 11 months a year so why not the Audi I say
Ty
Should the expansion tank have a hole next to the cover?
It is what it is man....you drain coolant from the drain valve and open the expansion tank cover so water drains faster.
Is there a coolant bleed procedure that you can run in A4 3.2L 2008 to get any air out of the system after you fill it with fresh coolant?
I explained everything in the description to keep engine running with the overflow tank cap removed till some of the air escapes. You can see it puke out some air with those bubble leaving from the opening. In b8 tank there is also an opening in the expansion tank itself which bleeds air out...there is. Smartly places hole in there. The cap also routinely removes the air. Everything else is sealed tight so no way you remove air without it exploding on your face...unless ofcourse an audi tech can pitch in here.
@@Takeitlightly6 Thanks. Reason why I ask is in my 335i I can run a coolant bleed procedure which activates the electric water pump and circulates the coolant and air pockets out part of the process. Wasn't sure if my Audi had the same.
People pulling hoses are used to servicing p.o.s. BMW that did not engineer a coolant drain into the system and force mechanics to disconnect hoses. P.O.S. Design.
Thannnnnnk you
Nice,thanks!!!
What the part number for that plug?
Oh God, did you break it ? Now you go to Audi to buy one…if you need part number i will stop by audi during my working hours if i have time for the number.
Can you please tell me if that valve only turns 1/4 to pull it down? Thanks.
Marcelo Gancedo valve doesnt turn too much. I guess it could be removed completely but not needed. Just do as seen with very little force. And pull it down when its around 9 or 6 o clock.
@@Takeitlightly6 Thanks. I will try that. Mine only turns 1/4. Best.
Its supposed to be little tight. Get a good grip and turn till you really feel it wont go anymore and then pull it downwards.
@@Takeitlightly6 Thanks man! You've been very helpful.
@@marcelogancedo8766 did you manage to drain it? mine also only turns 1/4 and it has a hose mouth but the coolant doesn’t come out. I’ve tried pulling the valve and it moved slightly but didn’t move much and I didn’t want to force it and risk breaking it. I have an a4 09. I haven’t been able to find pics, text, or a video on how to flush on my specific model. Just curious if you experienced something similar and if you were successful at it. Any comment is highly appreciated
Why u do the video at night
So no one can see him dumping coolant on the ground.
How do u bleed the air out?
Jay Mackk keep the engine running with water in the bottle filled up. Air will automatically escape in a few minutes and you will see water level drop. Check water level again next day and add necessary. To be frank you need 1 and a half bottles of original audi coolant for it to remain in the system and not to evaporate the water away. Rest is distilled.
@@Takeitlightly6 1.5 bottles. I have purchased a 1.32 us gallon (5 liters) is that enough?
@@spirosgal1885 if you need frequent topping up, then you have a leak or you water pump is shot…according to dealership you need only 1 liter bottle of concentrate mixed with diluted water. Or premixed equivalent..
Bad video
