–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
system may suffer damage. Engine Coolant capacity
