Note | t
| Only use coolant additive G12 in accordance with TL VW 774 F. Identification: purple colour. |
| t
| G12 purple (in accordance with TL W 774 F) can be mixed with existing coolant additives G11 and G12 red! |
| t
| G12 and coolant additives marked "In accordance with TL VW 774 F" prevent frost and corrosion damage, scaling and also raise boiling point of coolant. Therefore, the cooling system must be filled all-year-round with frost and corrosion protection additives. |
| t
| Because of its high boiling point, the coolant improves engine reliability under heavy loads, particularly in countries with tropical climates. |
| t
| Frost protection is required down to about -25 °C (in countries with arctic climates: down to about -35 °C). |
| t
| The coolant concentration must not be reduced by adding water even in warmer seasons and in warmer countries. The coolant additive must be at least 40 % of mixture. |
| t
| If for climatic reasons greater frost protection is required, the amount of G12 can be increased, but only up to 60 % (frost protection to about -40 °C). Otherwise frost protection and cooling effectiveness will be reduced. |
| t
| If radiator, heat exchanger, cylinder head or cylinder head gasket is renewed, do not reuse old coolant. |
| t
| Only use G12 as additive when filling cooling system. |
| t
| Only G12 may be used in engines with an aluminium cylinder block. |
