How often should the coolant be replaced in the Volkswagen Teramont?

The coolant in the Volkswagen Teramont should be replaced every two years or 60,000 kilometers. Coolant is a special additive-containing liquid primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems, providing anti-freeze protection in winter, anti-boil protection in summer, and year-round anti-scale and anti-corrosion properties. The Volkswagen Teramont is a mid-to-large-sized 5-door, 7-seat SUV with body dimensions of 5039mm in length, 1989mm in width, and 1773mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2980mm. The Volkswagen Teramont is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 137 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 320 Newton-meters.
As a long-term Volkswagen Teramont owner, based on my experience, it's safest to change the coolant every two years or 30,000 kilometers. Volkswagen's official manual also recommends this interval, but you need to pay attention to actual usage conditions. For example, in cold regions, if not replaced promptly, the liquid can freeze and damage the radiator – I once nearly had an engine overheat and stall because of this. I regularly check the coolant level and color changes; if it appears cloudy or develops an odor, those are signs of aging. I recommend having the shop test the freezing point during each maintenance service to protect engine longevity – don't invite major trouble just to save a little money.
