Engine Coolant
« on: July 01, 2012, 06:48:48 pm »
Prob a silly question. But my gti has come up with 'STOP check engine coolant' and im getting some from VW tomorrow but i have heard of G12 and G12+ is there any difference?

Can i just pour it in neat or have to mix? Have read about having to flush the system or can i just top it up?


Thanks  :ashamed:

I think the one you need is G12+ but I'm sure you can double check this with your dealer.

You can just pour in the undiluted coolant into the coolant bottle and fill to the max line.

Apologis to all for hijacking this thread a bit, although similar topic, does anyone know if it's a big job to change the engine coolant sensor??
