Other coolant additives that do not comply with the correct specifications can
■
significantly reduce the anticorrosion effect.
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 ŠKODA Part-
■
ner, otherwise serious engine damage may occur.
