    Temperature / Coolant light

    Hey Guys,

    My temperature/Coolant light has started coming on regularly, i have checked the coolant levels and they are a little low, but nothing serious. The temperature of the car itself seems fine. I am about 10,000 kms away from my 60,000 service (which shouldnt be too long considering the amount of kms i do).

    I was thinking about simply topping up the levels and hoping that sees me through until my service. What type of coolant would you recommend for a 06 GTI?

    Cheers

    G12+ I think? Dealer will sell you a litre for about $20.

      The coolant only needs to be a little under the line before the light comes on. A little distilled water souls suffice for 50ml top up.

        Top up with the demineralized / distilled water only, if you still see the coolant in the reservoir/expansion bottle and tell your mechanic to pressure test the cooling system and check the water pump for the leak.

          As Transporter said above.

          I had my water pump die at only 45k on my Polo
