Morning all, looking for some advice on my A3 1.6 (53). My coolant warning light came on so I checked the tank and it was empty! Topped it up but it emptied itself over a bit of time onto the driveway. I couldn't get my usual audi specialist garage so went to another garage I've used before for routine stuff. They diagnosed a hole in the bottom of the radiator so did some work to clean through added a radiator sealant, then topped up fully with water so I could drive the car in the short term until I get radiator replaced.
My concern is having water in the radiator now where I've always used an Audi recommended coolant (can't remember name but it was blue fluid). Will water cause damage if I drive it? Should I get the water drained and get my usual Audi recommended coolant put in? Or can it be mixed (probably a silly question but putting it out there).
I also need to make a long journey of 200 miles each way in the next week or so, is the car fit for this type of journey?
thanks and have a great weekend!
