‹› Freeze protection must be guaranteed to approximately -25 °C (approximately -35 °C in countries with an arctic climate).

‹› If climate conditions make greater freeze protection necessary, the amount of G 12 can be increased up to 60% (Freeze protection to

approximately -40 °C). Adding more coolant reduces the freeze protection and reduces the cooling efficiency.

-

If freeze protection is insufficient, drain off required quantity shown in freeze protection table and add coolant additive -G 12- which corresponds
to TL VW 774 F.

Coolant Level, Checking and Filling

-

Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir with the engine cold.

‹› Delivery inspection: coolant level at max. marking - arrow -

‹› Inspection service: coolant level between the min. and max. marks. 

-

If coolant level is too low, fill with coolant mixture.

‹› If fluid losses are greater than can be reasonably expected, rectify malfunctions.

Mixture Ratio

‹› Coolant additive -G 12- according to TL VW 774 F prevents freezing and corrosion damage, scaling and also raises boiling point of coolant. For
