AUDI S1 SILICA BAG REMOVAL FROM COOLANT SYSTEM! ⚠️🚫👩‍🔧

[@aIbercik]

As soon as possible You should flush system and change colant fluid on Glysantin G65 or G12 Evo

[@aIbercik]

Because without this silicat bag, with only G13 fluid, coolant system is very receptive for corrosion.@@Unexpectedperspectivesnow

What’s the point of doing that as the main purpose of silikat bag is to extend the life of the coolant. I removed ours within 2 mins and didn’t have to flush the system.

[@aIbercik]

@@lijimbu6338Silikat bag is for prevent corrosion. G13 fluid without silikat has no corrosion protection properties.

Gonna get it changed soon at a local Audi dealership.

[@Unexpectedperspectivesnow]

on the other hand, the stuff released by the bag that is already in the system should not magically be consumed once the bag is gone. But yes, a change of fluid is necessary anyway since the car is close to 10 years old and has 136.000 km. @@aIbercik

Update (March 6, 2024): I will change the coolant fluid soon at an Audi dealership. They will put G12 EVO fluid and it will cost me about €/$ 300. The coolant system seems to contain about 8 to 10 liters.

Hei. Flushet dem systemet og fylte på G12Evo? Hvor ofte bør du skifte kjølevæske da? Kostet det deg ca. 3000kr i Sverige?

[@Unexpectedperspectivesnow]

​@@Hainrich12Hej! Jag lämnade in den på VAG i min region. De bytte vätskan men det är oklart hur mycket av den de faktiskt bytte. Fick ingen klarhet i det tyvärr. Men det får duga som det är nu. 🤷‍♂️

[@Unexpectedperspectivesnow]

​@@Hainrich12Jag betalade 2800 cirka om jag minns rätt.

The 'ball' = coolant header tank.

Thanks! 😃

Audi A1/S1 from 2014 and how many km? No Diesel?

[@Unexpectedperspectivesnow]

136.000 km at the moment. No the S1 was only available with a 230 hp gasoline engine.

​@@Unexpectedperspectivesnow i have a Tiguan and Golf from 2017 and i checked both silica bags and they are looking good at the moment. Golf 7 with over 162tkm. Your bag looks very brown, but i will take it also out of the coolant.
