2015 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CC Antifreeze

Recommended cleaners
For the warmer months, Windscreen Clear SummerG 052 184 A1
or equivalent. Mixing ratio 1:100 (1 part concentrate to 100 parts wa-
ter) in the windshield washer reservoir.
All-season Windscreen ClearG 052 164 A2 or equivalent. Mixing
ratio in winter to 0 °F (-18 °C) about 1:2 (1 part concentrate to 2 parts
water), otherwise, mixing ratio 1:4 in the windshield washer reservoir.
Filling capacity
The windshield washer fluid reservoir holds about 3.1 qts. (3 liters); in
vehicles with a headlight cleaning system about 6.3 qts. (6 liters).
WARNING
Never mix antifreeze or similar additives into the windshield
washer reservoir. This could produce an oily film on the wind-
shield, which would considerably reduce visibility.
Use clear water with a cleaning solution recommended by
Volkswagen.
If necessary, blend with a suitable windshield washer fluid
antifreeze agent.
NOTICE
Never mix cleaning solutions recommended by Volkswagen
with other cleaning agents. If you do, this could cause sedi-
ments or other by-products that can clog the windshield washer
nozzles.
When refilling, do not confuse one type of operating liquid
with another! Otherwise serious malfunctions and engine dam-
age can occur!

If you notice a loss of fuel economy or drivability and performance
problems using one of these fuel blends, we recommend that you
switch to unblended fuel. Never use fuel line antifreeze offered for
gasoline engines.
Gasoline additives

WARNING
Engine coolant is poisonous!
Always keep the coolant in its original container stored in a
safe place.
To reduce the risk of poisoning, never store engine coolant in
empty food or beverage containers or in any other containers
that might mislead someone into drinking from them.
Always keep engine coolant out of reach of children.
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.
Coolant and coolant additives can pollute the environment. Col-
lect leaking operating fluids and dispose of them properly in accord-
ance with applicable environmental laws and regulations.
Warning light and engine coolant temperature gauge

Fig. 167 Engine coolant temperature gauge in the instrument cluster:
A Engine cold; B Normal temperature range; C Warning zone.

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.
