Hi,
My 2012 (delivered 02/13) 132 TSi 2.0 is up to 56,000kms and due for the 60K/5yr service which will flush and change the ATF and the coolant system plus other oils, filters & plugs etc (brakes were done at 50K at this time last year because of the time interval and pad change) - last year the mechanic said the coolant was weak but I took it as an observation rather than a prompt to change it and he said it was okay.

I have noticed that the coolant reservoir / overflow tank is discoloured a dirty brown / reddish almost rusty colour and the fluid was a bit reddish but quite clear. I have stuck my finger inside the reservoir and wiped some rusty brown coloured sediment / residue off the inside of the tank and one of the sensors / inlets and it was quite gritty.

Has anybody else seen this or have any knowledge of that kind of thing?

Thanks,
Chris.
