Air Suspension: Checking For Leaks And Damage; Air Filter: Clean Housing And Renew Filter Element - Volkswagen Touareg 2010 Manual

Note
Coolant additive G12 Plus Plus protects the complete cooling
♦
system against corrosion and reduces the formation of sludge
and corrosion and also raises the boiling point of coolant. For
these reasons, the cooling system must be filled all-year-
round with a coolant and corrosion protection additives.
Because of its high boiling point, the coolant improves engine
♦
reliability under heavy loads, particularly in countries with trop‐
ical climates.
The coolant concentration must not be reduced by adding dis‐
♦
tilled water even in the warm season or in hot countries. The
antifreeze portion must be at least 40 %.
