Do not work on the cooling system unless you are familiar with the task, aware of the general safety procedures and have the correct equip- ment, service fluids and suitable tools → . In case of any doubt, it should be carried out by a correspondingly qualified workshop inal coolant should be selected according to the current lowest ambient temperature of the vehi- cle use area. In order to obtain the optimum anti-corrosion ef- fect, it is recommended to fill the cooling system with our original coolant → . Coolant is toxic! WARNING Inadequate frost protection of the engine cool- ing system can lead to engine failure, which can lead to injury or death.
WARNING ● Engine coolant must be stored in its original container and stored in a safe place. ● Never store coolant in empty food contain- ers, bottles or any other non-original con- tainers as people finding these containers may then drink the coolant. Poisoning by mistake! ● Make sure that the coolant additive is always adapted corresponding to the ambient tem- perature ● Always keep coolant out of the reach of chil- dren . ● Coolant can freeze at extremely cold outside temperatures, causing the vehicle to break down. This can lead to the heating no longer working in the vehicle. Vehicle occupants with inadequate winter clothing could freeze to death.
● The coolant must be prepared according to the current lowest ambient temperature in the area where the vehicle is used. ● Coolant can freeze at extremely cold outside temperatures, causing the vehicle to break down. This can lead to the heating no longer working in the vehicle. Vehicle occupants with inadequate winter clothing could freeze to death. NOTICE When adding coolant additives, never mix genu- ine coolant additives with other coolant additives that have not been approved by Volkswagen, otherwise, the engine and its cooling system may be damaged. Coolant and coolant additives can pollute the environment.
Therefore, spilt service fluids must be collected and disposed of properly and in an environmentally responsible way. ● If the liquid in the coolant expansion tank is not violet but brown, the suitable coolant has been mixed with another unsuitable coolant. In this case, the coolant must be replaced, oth- erwise, it may seriously deteriorate the engine performance and damage the engine. Coolant specification Coolant and coolant additives can pollute the environment. Spilt service fluids must be collected and disposed of properly and with respect for the environment. Please refer to and on page 165 and at the start of the chapter on page 175.
This vehicle has been filled with coolant in ac- cordance with the regulations (G12 EVO ). The coolant is violet in colour. The freezing point of the coolant is below -35 ℃ , and can prevent corrosion of alloy parts of the cooling system and scale production of the sys- tem, and improve the boiling point of the cool- ant. If the vehicle is used in the cold season and area, it is necessary to improve the anti-freezing ability of the coolant, so the corresponding type of orig- 182.5C1.TRO.74 Checking and refilling 175
