    Why not flush the engine coolant, clean the tank and replace with correct grade?
    There's no quick way to diagnose head gasket issues. Being unfamiliar with the engine maybe research a failed oil cooler if it has one??
    Also turn off your cap locks

    Hi. Yes I will change oil cooler first as it's cheapest part in this investigation. Just waiting for gasket from audi. To flush cooling system I do not have access to water hose, so will fill with water and run it drain it and repeat it few times.
