Coolant specifications
The engine cooling system is supplied from
the factory with a specially treated mixture of
water and at least 40 % of the additive G13
(TL-VW 774 J), purple. This mixture gives the
necessary frost protection down to -25°C
(-13°F) and protects the light alloy parts of
the engine cooling system against corrosion.
It also prevents scaling and considerably rai-
ses the boiling point of the coolant.
To protect the cooling system, the percentage
of additive must always be at least 40 %, even in warm climates where anti-freeze pro-
tection is
not required.
If for weather reasons further protection is
necessary, the proportion of additive may be
increased, but only up to 60 %; otherwise an-
tifreeze protection will diminish and this will
worsen cooling.
When the coolant is topped up, use a mixture
of distilled water and at least 40 % of the
G13 or G12 plus-plus (TL-VW 774 G) additive
(both are purple) to obtain optimal anti-corro-
sion protection. The mixture of G13 with G12
plus (TL-VW 774 F), G12 (red) or G11 (green-
blue) engine coolants will significantly re-
duce anti-corrosion protection and should
therefore be avoided. 42

● Pre s

s down by hand, do not hit the wheel
trim! Knocking it sharply, particularly at
points where the wheel trim has not yet been
inserted, could result in damage to the wheel
trim guiding and centring elements.
● Before fitting the trim on a steel wheel at-
tached w
ith an anti-theft wheel bolt, make
sure the bolt is in the hole in the valve area
