Just topped up my 2022 LR RWD's coolant and wanted to share the experience to save everyone some hassle! Both coolants were low, so I went on a mission to find the right stuff. Let me tell you, the parts counter almost sent me off with the wrong info! Thankfully, the mechanic himself stepped in to make sure I got everything right.

Here's the lowdown, pink Coolant (000HC00002P): Mix this one 60/40 with distilled water. Blue Coolant (07100-J2A21): Heads up, the cap unscrews the opposite way you'd expect! Mechanic saved the day there. This new part number (J2A21) replaces the older J2A20. Hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing your experience! Quick question: did you notice any difference in how the car runs after topping up the coolant?
 
Seriously, that's such a lifesaver, thanks for sharing! It's wild how close you came to getting the wrong coolant thank goodness the mechanic knew what was up! That tip about mixing the pink coolant with water is super helpful, and who would've guessed the blue coolant cap unscrews the other way? That's a trap waiting to happen. So, just to double-check, is the pink coolant specifically for the cooling system and the blue one for something else, like the battery or inverter? And do you know if these are the same coolants used in other Audi models, or is it just the e-tron?
