Cooling System
♦ If the two coolants are mixed, the coolant
turns brown in colour. Brown coolant should
be drained immediately, the cooling system
flushed out with drinking water and filled with
fresh coolant. If this is not done, there is a
risk of damage to the engine and the cooling
system.
♦ If bluish-green coolant (G11) is replaced with
the red coolant (G12), the entire cooling sys-
tem should be flushed out with drinking wa-
ter.
♦ Coolant which complies with the standard TL
VW 774 C (G11) -bluish-green in colour-
should not be added to a cooling system of
the vehicle unless this system is already filled
with this coolant.
♦ If the cooling system of the vehicle is filled
with red coolant (G12), only red coolant
(G12) may be used for refilling or topping up
the cooling system.
