How to Replace the Coolant in a New Sagitar?
2 Answers
New Sagitar coolant replacement method is: 1. Open the vehicle's engine hood, and you can see the coolant reservoir in the upper right corner; 2. Open the coolant drain plug under the radiator to drain the old coolant; 3. Add new coolant, tighten the cap, and the coolant replacement is complete.

To replace the coolant for the new Sagitar, I often DIY myself. The process is simple, but it's better to be careful. The first step is to wait until the engine is completely cooled—leave it for at least a few hours before starting to avoid burns. Open the engine hood, locate the drain valve at the bottom of the radiator (usually a small valve), and slowly unscrew it to drain the old coolant. Use a bucket to catch it—don’t dump it randomly to avoid environmental pollution. After draining, tighten the valve, open the radiator cap, and add new coolant. Make sure to buy the Volkswagen-approved G13 specification, and don’t mix colors. Check the manual for the correct amount. Start the car for 5 minutes to let the fluid circulate, then turn it off and check the fluid level again—it should be between the MIN and MAX marks. Keep some extra coolant on hand—the Sagitar’s radiator isn’t very large, so the whole process takes about 10 minutes. Remember, if there’s any leakage in the pipes, fix it immediately to avoid a roadside breakdown headache.
