WARNING
Coolant is toxic.
● Engine coolant should only be kept in sealed original containers in a safe place.
● Never store engine coolant in empty food containers, bottles or any other non-original containers as people
finding these containers may then drink the engine coolant.
● The engine coolant must be stored out of the reach of children.
● Please note that the amount of correct coolant additive used must be sufficient for the lowest ambient
temperature that you expect the vehicle to be exposed to.
● Coolant can freeze at extremely cold outside temperatures, causing the vehicle to break down. Vehicle occupants
with inadequate winter clothing could then freeze to death as the heating will also no longer function.
Coolant and coolant additives can pollute the environment. Spilt service fluids must be collected then
disposed of properly and in an environmentally responsible way.
Coolant specification
The cooling system is filled at the factory with a mixture of specially treated water and at least 40%G 12evo (TL-
VW 774 L).
The proportion of coolant additive mustalways be at least 40% to protect the cooling system. If greater frost
protection is required in very cold climates, the proportion of anti-freeze additive can be increased. However, the
percentage of coolant additive should not exceed 55 %, as this would reduce the frost protection and the cooling
effect.
The coolant additive is dyed purple. The mixture of water and a coolant additive offers anti-freeze protection down to
-25°C (-13°F), protects the alloy parts in the cooling system against corrosion, prevents limescale deposits and
significantly increases the boiling point of the coolant.
When refilling the coolant, a mixture ofdistilled water and at least 40 %G 12evo (TL 774 L) coolant additive must be
used in order to obtain the optimum corrosion protection. The coolant additives G 13 (TL 774 J), G 12 plus (TL 774 G)
or G 12 plus (TL 774 F)can also be used for refilling.
Please note: Mixing G 12evo with the coolantsG 13, G 12 plus-plus, G 12 plus will significantly decrease the level of
corrosion protection and should therefore be avoided →
.
WARNING
Insufficient anti-freeze in the coolant system can cause the engine to break down and cause serious injuries.
● Please note that the amount of correct coolant additive used must be sufficient for the lowest ambient
temperature that you expect the vehicle to be exposed to.
● Coolant can freeze at extremely cold outside temperatures, causing the vehicle to break down. Vehicle occupants
with inadequate winter clothing could then freeze to death as the heating will also no longer function.
NOTICE
Never mix genuine coolant additives with other coolants that have not been approved by Volkswagen.
● If the liquid in the coolant expansion tank is not pink(colouring results from mixing the purple coolant additive
with distilled water) but brown, for example,G 12evo has been mixed with an unsuitable coolant additive. The
coolant must be changed as soon as possible if this is the case. Failure to observe this warning can result in
serious malfunctions or damage to the engine and cooling system.
Coolant and coolant additives can pollute the environment. Spilt service fluids must be collected then
disposed of properly and in an environmentally responsible way.
