Default Stupid observation.

Audi color coded their fluids and caps.
Brake = Yellow cap, yellow fluid
Hydraulic/power steering = Green cap, green fluid
Windshield washer = Blue cap, blue fluid
Oddball one is Coolant = Blue cap, pink fluid...maybe b/c it is partly water.
Also Oil = Black cap, but probably just to match the engine covers.

Default Did you finally get it delivered?

I did a quick flush of the power steering and brake fluid since I didn't like the brown crap they overfilled my power steering with. Amazingly Strauss sells Pentosin CHF11S hydraulic fluid. So I have extra if you find you need any.

No problems with customs! I can't wait to get it installed- looks solid. Next weekend?

Default Big Paintball game tomorrow!

We'll have to aim for next weekend. Or maybe even one day after work depending on your schedule. I think you have all the tools in your garage except maybe circlips pliers.
