Note! | t
| Only G12 anti-freeze in accordance with the TAL VW 774 D standard can be used. It is identified by its red colour. |
| t
| G12 can never be mixed with other anti-freezes. |
| t
| If the liquid from the expansion deposit is a brown colour, it means that the G12 has been mixed with another anti-freeze, in which case all the coolant must be changed. |
| t
| G12 and anti-freezes with the indication “in accordance with TAL VW 774 D” prevent damage through corrosion, freezing or scaling, and increase the boiling temperature of the coolant. For this reason, the cooling system should always make use of the prescribed mix of anti-freeze and anti-corrosive products. |
| t
| Because of its high boiling point, the coolant improves engine reliability under heavy loads, particularly in countries with tropical climates. |
| t
| Frost protection should be guaranteed up to approx. -25 °C (in artic climates up to approx. -35 °C). |
| t
| The concentration of the coolant should not be reduced by adding water in the warmer season or in warm countries. The anti-freeze ratio must be at least 40 %. |
| t
| If a greater proportion of anti-freeze is required for climatic reasons, the percentage of G12 may be increased, but only up to 60 % (frost protection up to -40 °C). A greater proportion reduces cooling capacity and frost protection. |
| t
| Do not re-use the coolant when the following have been replaced: the radiator, the heat exchanger, the cylinder head or the cylinder head gasket. |
| Mix proportions recommended: |
