Oh no! Coolant!

Low, so low. Blinky blinky goes the warning light.

Where do you get the pink coolant from? Vague memory says its G12 that my vw mech threw in at the last service. Can you get it at auto parts places, or must ye purchase from vw?

[pommy_golfer]

Not sure Matt, but i had to go to main stealer to get mine....

if you find out anywhere else you can get it from for cheaper, let us know!

Its G12+ that they sell now, and i think it cost me about 20 bucks!

Should be able to get it cheaper from a VW workshop, non authorised.

As Andrew said, head to a non authorise VW mechanic for some and save you $$.

I had this in my Imp last night, after splitting a hose, but I think that it is going to cost me alot more than a new bottle of coolant.

Can't you get it from AutoBahn?

To get G12 coolant would be very hard to find from an all car accesory shop.

The Caltex up the road from me has coolant that matches all the numbers VW has but its $57 for 5 litres

Does that sound right??

No get the correct stuff.
Last time I bought it, dealer price was cheapest. (About $14 for 1.5 litres)

No AutoBahn's in WA!

Thanks for the tips fellas. Will track some down today.

Hepu!!!!!

PURCHASED:


$17.50, got 2 bottles from my vw mech.

I take you mix this with water, or do you put it in straight?

[syncro]

Read the instructions on the bottle and use distilled water.

[MattyT]

Done and dusted. This probably seems a bit simple to some folk but I am in no way mechanically minded!!

FYI, not all Autobarns are accessory only. I know mine isn't i have G12 on the shelf.
