How to add Volkswagen G12 coolant?
2 Answers
Method for adding Volkswagen G12 coolant: 1. Use pliers to loosen the hose clamp of the radiator outlet pipe at the lower left corner of the engine compartment; 2. Open the pressure cap and drain the old coolant from the pipe; 3. Use an air gun to blow out excess coolant from the cooling system, then rinse with distilled water and blow until no coolant remains; 4. Add new coolant through the filling port, maintaining the liquid level between MAX and MIN, then securely close the filling port cap. Volkswagen AG is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, founded by Ferdinand Porsche. Volkswagen's brands include Audi, SEAT, Skoda, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, and Porsche.
Last time I added coolant to my wife's Volkswagen in the garage, and I gained some experience. Remember to operate only when the engine is cold, otherwise the high-temperature liquid can spray out and scald your skin. Locate the white translucent expansion tank in the engine compartment, with warning signs on the cap. Clean the dust around the cap before slowly unscrewing it, and check if the liquid level is below the MIN mark. When refilling, be sure to use the original G12 purple coolant, as mixing with other colors can cause chemical reactions and clog the pipes. Use a funnel for stability when pouring the liquid, and don't exceed the MAX line but keep it about two fingers above the MIN mark. After tightening the cap, start the engine and let it idle for five minutes to purge air bubbles from the cooling system. Turn off the engine and check the liquid level again after half an hour, topping up to the normal position if needed. Wear gloves throughout the process to avoid skin contact, as this stuff is mildly corrosive.
