Is It Time for Service on My 2000 Audi S4 Cooling System?

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Audi S4 radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it’s vital to know what to look for.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2000 Audi S4 is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. Audi recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.
