1. Contact a suitably qualified professional. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Engine coolant
Introduction
Only perform work on the engine cooling system if you are familiar with the necessary activities and the general safety precautions, and if the correct operating
equipment, fluids and suitable tools are available. Work performed incorrectly can result in serious injuries ⇒
. Have all work performed by suitably qualified
professionals if necessary. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Information about warning and indicator lights can be found in the troubleshooting section at the end of the chapter ⇒ Troubleshooting.
WARNING
Engine coolant is poisonous!
Only store engine coolant in the sealed original container and in a secure place.
Never use empty food cans, bottles, or other containers to store engine coolant, because someone could drink the engine coolant by mistake.
Store engine coolant out of the reach of children.
Make sure that the correct proportion of engine coolant additive is provided based on the lowest ambient temperature in which the vehicle will be
operated.
In extremely low temperatures, the coolant can freeze and the vehicle could break down. Because the heater will also no longer function in that situation,
vehicle occupants could die of exposure if they do not have sufficient warm clothing.
Coolant and coolant additives can pollute the environment. Catch any leaking operating fluids and dispose of them correctly according to environmental
regulations.
Engine coolant specifications
Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒
Safety precautions for working in the engine compartment .
The cooling system is filled at the factory with a mixture of specially prepared water and at least 40% coolant additive G12evo (TL 744-L).
To protect the engine cooling system, there must always be at least a 40% proportion of coolant additive. If greater freeze protection is needed due to the climate,
the proportion of coolant additive can be increased. However, the proportion of coolant additive must not exceed 55 %, because otherwise the freeze protection will
be reduced and the cooling effect will be decreased.
The engine coolant additive can be recognized by its violet color. The mixture of water and coolant additive provides freeze protection down to -13 °F (-25 °C),
protects the aluminum alloy parts of the cooling system from corrosion, prevents limescale deposits, and increases the boiling point of the coolant.
If the engine coolant is being topped up, a blend of distilled water and at least 40% of the G12evo engine coolant additive must be used to ensure optimum
corrosion protection ⇒
.
CAUTION
Insufficient freeze protection in the cooling system can cause engine malfunctions, which can result in injuries.
Only use coolant additive approved by the manufacturer.
Make sure the coolant additive is adjusted according to the ambient temperature.
In extremely low temperatures, the coolant can freeze and the vehicle could break down. Because the heater will also no longer function in that situation,
vehicle occupants could die of exposure if they do not have sufficient warm clothing.
