When adding engine coolant, use a mixture of distilled water and at
least 40% coolant additive G 13 or G 12 plus-plus (TL-VW 774 G) for
optimum corrosion protection ⇒ .
Do not mix G 13 with G 12 plus or G 11. Mixing these coolant addi-
tives together significantly reduces corrosion protection ⇒ and can
lead to engine damage that is not covered by any Volkswagen Lim-
ited Warranty.
WARNING
Too little antifreeze protection in the engine cooling system can
cause engine failure and severe injuries.
Always make sure there is enough of the correct coolant ad-
ditive to provide proper antifreeze protection at the coldest
temperatures that can be expected where the vehicle will be
used.
At extremely cold temperatures, the coolant could freeze,
causing the vehicle to break down. The heater would also not
work, and vehicle occupants could be without protection at
subfreezing temperatures.
NOTICE
Never mix original Volkswagen engine coolant additives with
other additives not approved by Volkswagen. Mixing
Volkswagen coolant additives with coolant additives made by
other manufacturers can seriously damage the engine and the
engine cooling system.
If the fluid in the engine coolant reservoir is any color but pink,
then G 13 was mixed with a different engine coolant. If this is the
case, the engine coolant must be replaced immediately. Other-
wise serious malfunctions or engine damage can occur!
Engine coolant and engine coolant additives can pollute the envi-
ronment. Collect leaking operating fluids and dispose of them proper-
ly in accordance with applicable environmental laws and regulations.
