Default Help~~How much to change coolant?

I accidentally add about 1/4 gallon of windowshield fluid into coolant tank.(Yeah, sounds stupid) Anyone knows how much to change coolant in an Audi dealer? Does it need a wash?

Default uhm... this may be deja vu.. didn't someone else just do this too?

flush and refill ASAP buddy
use the G12 stuff or go to a dealer
guessing an hour of labor cost
maybe $80-$150 but whatever it is it's minor

i don't think she will 'blow' or corrode to bits but I'd do it right away

good time to throw in a new thermostat

PS. remember the blue flip-top drivers side fender

The coolant is bright orange. What kind of washer fluid do you guys use? RainX?
