Filling
Notes:
-
◆ The cooling system is filled all-year-round with a mixture of water and anti-freeze and corrosion protection agent G 11. G 11 and coolant additives marked has being "in accordance with TL VW 774 C" prevent frost and corrosion damage, the formation of chalk and in addition, they raise the boiling point of the coolant. For these reasons, the cooling system must be filled all-year-round with anti-freeze and corrosion protection agent. Due to the higher boiling point, the coolant is an aid to operational efficiency when the engine is operating at high loads, particularly in tropical climates.
-
◆ If radiator, heat exchanger, cylinder head or cylinder head gasket is replaced, do not reuse old coolant.

1)
The amount of anti-freeze must not exceed 60 %; frost protection and cooling effect will decrease if amount of anti-freeze is too high.
2)
The quantity of coolant can vary depending upon the vehicle equipment.
