System Specifications
Recommended mixture ratios:
Notes:
- Use only coolant additive G 12 -meeting specification VW 774 D. Identification: colored red.
- G 12 must not be mixed with any other coolant additives.
- If the fluid in the expansion tank is brown, this is an indication that G 12 has been mixed with another type of coolant. In this case the coolant must be changed.
- G 12 and coolant additives complying with specification VW 774 D prevent frost and corrosion damage, scaling and also raise the boiling point of the coolant. For this reason the system must be filed all year round with the correct additive for frost and corrosion protection.
- Particularly in countries with tropical climates, the higher boiling point of the coolant improves engine reliability when working under heavy load.
- The system must be protected against frost to about -25°C (in arctic climates to about -35°C).
