Just bought a 2009 3.0 TDI with 132,000 km on odo. Already have my first problem - looks like oil cooler putting oil into cooling system. Audi wants to replace entire cooler - my cost as it is long out of warantee period. Doesn't seem to be a common problem, although it has been noted on some vw's. Noticed the coolant tank turning brown from the normal pink colour. Happened after I hoofed it in sport mode - haven't even tried the launch control yet... :-(

Besides that, really impressed with the power in this car - had a toyoto rav4 before which was extremely reliable and sold on at 350,000 km with no issues, but now to get this one fixed...

Anyway sounds like you might have rust, oil or a leak for the pink stuff to turn brown? Has the coolant level dropped at all?
