Coolant - Skoda Superb Owner's Manual

A coolant additive that does not comply with the correct specifications can sig-
■
nificantly reduce the corrosion protection.
Any faults resulting from corrosion may cause a loss of coolant and can conse-
■
quently result in major engine damage!
Do not fill the coolant above the mark
■
If a fault causes the engine to overheat, we recommend visiting a specialist ga-
■
rage, as otherwise serious engine damage may occur.
