Replacing the coolant in a Volkswagen EA211 requires 4-5 liters, and it is generally recommended to change it every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. Method for replacing coolant: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with particular attention to the five-way hose. The five-way hose is named for its five connections to different parts of the car, and the coolant is distributed to various sections of the vehicle after flowing through it. If there is any leakage of coolant in this area, the hose should be replaced or the connections re-secured as needed. Drain the old coolant, then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add water to the coolant reservoir and continue filling it until clean water flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Then, idle the engine for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water draining from the reservoir may have a faint pink tint, but continue adding water until the outflow is clear. Note: Remember to remove the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, 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 the cooling system expels some air, the coolant level will drop. Top it up again until it reaches the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.
