Default Does Audi change coolant during free maint period?

I am setting up my maint schedule now my car is out of warranty. I can't see that the coolant was ever changed in the dealer's 7.5K, 15K, 22.5K, 30K, 37.5K, 45K, 52.5K, or 60K service! Is that true? I feel stupid if the coolant has not been changed in 60K, but I was not paying attention.

Steve-O (98 A4 2.8QMS + 01 Passt GLX 4Motion, no mods at all, no clear corners, no superchargers, no thick sway bars, no cat-back, OK I did upgrade the brake pads, but what harm could that do?, and oh ya and that other Neuspeed thing, but no one can see that, oh well the warranty period over on the A4, but NO WAY will I mod the Passat)

Default How often do people flush coolant?

Current Quattro Quarterly has an article on keeping your Q going for 200K+. It recommends yearly coolant flush/fill. Does anyone do this? What do you do?
