Warning: do not attempt to remove the expansion tank pressure cap if the engine is still warm or you may be scalded. Do not leave containers of coolant open as it is poisonous.
Precautions
- Regular addition of coolant. liquid should not be required. If frequent refueling is required, there is probably a leak. Check radiator, all hoses and connector surfaces, correct as necessary.
- It is important that the antifreeze in the cooling system is filled all year round, and not just for the winter. Do not top up with clean water as the antifreeze concentration will be reduced.
- In no case do not mix the red coolant (VW G12) with blue liquid (VWG11).
1. Coolant level changes with engine temperature. On a cold engine, the coolant level should be between the marks «MIN and «MAX». On hot - slightly above the mark «MAX».
2. If it is necessary to top up, wait until the engine has cooled down. Slowly unscrew the cap of the expansion tank, releasing the pressure in the cooling system, remove it.
3. Add a mixture of water and antifreeze to the expansion tank until the coolant level is between the marks. Install the lid and clamp it securely.
