Replacing the coolant for the Volkswagen EA211 requires 4-5 liters, and it is generally recommended to change it every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. Coolant replacement method: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a focus on the five-way hose. The five-way hose gets its name from having five connections to different parts, and the coolant is distributed to various sections of the car after flowing through it. If there is any coolant leakage in this part, replace the hose or re-secure the connections as needed. Drain the old coolant, then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add water to the coolant reservoir and continue filling until clean water flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. The water initially draining from the reservoir will appear slightly pink; continue adding clean water until the outflow is clear. Remember to remove the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. About an hour after draining, add the new coolant through the radiator hose to allow it to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another container of coolant to the reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As some air is expelled from the cooling system, the coolant level will drop. Top up the coolant to the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.
