| To drain coolant from radiator, open drain plug -arrow-. |
Note | Follow disposal regulations for coolant! |
Note | t
| Use only coolant additive G12 in accordance with „TL VW 774 F“. Identification: purple colour. |
| t
| G12 and coolant additives marked conforming to „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
| G12 purple conforming with „TL VW 774 F“ can be mixed with the previous coolant additive G12 red! |
| t
| Because of its higher 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 concentration must be at least 40 %. |
| t
| If for climatic reasons greater frost protection is required, the amount of G 12 can be increased, but only up to 60% (frost protection to about -40 °C). Otherwise frost protection and cooling effectiveness are reduced again. |
| t
| The refractometer -T10007- is recommended for determining the current anti-freeze density. |
| t
| If radiator, heat exchanger, cylinder head or cylinder head gasket is renewed, do not reuse old coolant. |
| Recommended mixture ratios: |
