Default Red coolant light flashing

My coolant temp is fine & oil temp is fine. It only lights up when I stop for more than a minute. Once I get going again it goes off. A little low on coolant. Could that be it? If so, what coolant should I use?

Default It would either be overheating or low coolant..

Which if you say the temp is fine than it must be the other. If it is just a little low, just use water, otherwise only use factory Audi pink coolant G12(no green Discount Autoparts stuff). Probably means you have a small leak somewhere.
