Default Audi uses sort of special coolant.
Just take to dealer and ask them why a brand new car is loosing coolant!

Default As long as you matched colors (red with red coolant) you should be fine.
Just can't mix green with red. Your audi should have red.

I would wait for it to run down to the min. mark again and then take it in (maybe ask for a flush and refill back to OEM stuff). Any car, much less a new car, should not use (or loose) ANY coolant.

Default Also keep an eye on that coolant temp guage. Chance of overheating if system is loosing pressure.
Might just want to take it in and tell what happened?
