Default Blinker trouble in '99 A6

Okay...I have been reading the forums and I am SO confused. What is blinker fluid? Still unsure if I have halogen or xenon headlights, but do both have blinker fluid? Sounds like my problem may be related to the flasher relay. I've read some great threads on how to replace it. Hope it is that easy, but still want to know what the heck blinker fluid is. This is my first Audi and have only had it 8 mos. THANKS!

Just make sure that when you change it (and don't forget the filter), use only OEM fluid.

FYI - dealers use Synthetic now. I *think* KaleCo might stock it.

Halogen blinker fluid does not mix with xenon, right?

HAHA, make sure to use the Audi spec fluid, made by Vandeley Industries.
