–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
system may suffer damage. Engine Coolant capacity

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