–Extract a small quantity of coolant with the pipette and 
place on the measuring glass. Hold unit against a light 
source and read off the temperature down to which 
antifreeze protection exists on the scale for ethylene 
glycol.
♦Antifreeze protection must be ensured down to about 
-25 C.
♦Down to about -35  C in countries with an arctic cli-
mate.
♦If a greater antifreeze concentration is required for cli-
matic reasons, the concentration may be increased up 
to 60 % (i.e. antifreeze protection down to about -40 
 C). Any further increase in concentration increase 
would reduce the antifreeze protection and impair 
cooling efficiency.
Replenishing coolant additive
♦Coolant additive G12 - red in colour, complying with 
standard TL VW 774 D, must not be mixed with other 
coolant additives which comply with standard TL VW 
774 C(B) -bluish-green in colour-. If these two coolant 
additives are mixed the coolant will turn brown. Brown 
coolant must be drained immediately, the cooling sys-
tem flushed out with drinking water and filled with 
fresh coolant. If this is not done the engine and cooling 
system may suffer damage.
♦Coolant additives complying with standard TL VW 774 
C (G11) -bluish-green in colour-, must only be used 
for topping up on vehicles fitted with a cooling system 
which is already filled with this coolant.
♦Vehicles produced as of MJ 03 are filled with coolant 
additive G12 PLUS which has a lilac colour and con-
forms with the standard TL VW 774 F.
♦Coolant additive G12 PLUS must only be mixed with 
coolant additives G12 and G11.
♦Coolant additive G12 PLUS is recommended for use 
on all vehicles when changing the coolant.
If the vehicle is filled with the recommended coolant and 
the antifreeze protection is not adequate, drain part of the 
coolant from the cooling system.
–After this, fill the cooling system with concentrated 
coolant additive.
The coolant capacity is:

–Perform a test drive and again check the coolant anti-
freeze protection.
Inspecting coolant level (volume)
–The coolant expansion reservoir is located on the right 
of the engine compartment.
–Inspect coolant level only when the engine is not run-
ning.
Specified coolant level for the Inspection Service:
•Engine cold: between„MAX“ and „MIN“ marking.
•Engine warm: slightly above the „MAX“ marking.
♦The cooling system is filled all year round with a mix-
ture of water and antifreeze/anti-corrosion agent. 
Coolant additives prevent damage from frost and cor-
rosion and the accumulation of lime scale while also 
raising the boiling point of the coolant. For these rea-
sons the cooling system must always be filled all year 
round with radiator antifreeze and anti-corrosion 
agent offering these properties. 
♦Coolant additive G12 - red in colour, complying with 
standard TL VW 774 D, must not be mixed with other 
coolant additives which comply with standard TL VW 
774 C(B) -bluish-green in colour-. If these two coolant 
additives are mixed the coolant will turn brown. Brown 
coolant must be drained immediately, the cooling sys-
tem flushed out with drinking water and filled with 
fresh coolant. If this is not done the engine and cooling

WARNING!
 Coolant additives are toxic!
 Do not inhale coolant vapours, do not swallow 
coolant, avoid contact with skin and eyes; haz-
ardous if consumed!

♦Coolant additive G12 PLUS is recommended for use

Do not use coolant additives that have not been recom-
mended by ŠKODA AUTO a.s.
Other coolant additives may specifically impair the pro-
vided corrosion protection.
The resulting corrosion damage may lead to a loss of 
coolant and subsequently cause major engine damage.
Coolant additives conforming to the standard TL VW 774 
D (G12) or TL VW 774F (G12 PLUS) prevent frost and 
corrosion damage, as well as the formation of scale, and 
also increase the boiling point of the coolant.
For these reasons you must use coolant additives 12 
months a year. 
The engine's reliability is also increased when the engine 
is stressed, especially in countries with a tropical climate.

Ribbed V-belt: Inspect condition
Special tools, test and measuring equipment and 
auxiliary items required
♦Wrench socket
Perform the following procedure:
–Raise vehicle.
–Remove bottom engine compartment cover at right.
–Use a socket wrench to crank the engine at the belt 
pulley -2-.
–Check ribbed V-belt for:
♦Splits in the carcass (initial splits, splits in core, splits 
across carcass).
♦Separation of layers (top layer, cords).
♦Sections of carcass broken out.
♦Fraying of cords.
♦Wear to sides (abrasion of material, frayed sides, 
hardening of sides, glazed and hardened surfaces).
♦Traces of oil and grease.
♦Correct tension (vehicles without tensioning pulley).
♦It is essential to replace the V-ribbed belt if defects are 
found. This will help prevent any operational prob-
lems. Replacing the ribbed V-belt is a repair measure.
♦Engines fitted with an AC compressor are equipped 
with a double ribbed V-belt.
