Coolant capacity

[Catfish]

Anyone know the exact coolant capacity of the Polo Gti - it's not in the manual and have googled without success? Thanks.

When I removed a pipe from the engine block and replaced the fluid, it took over 1L. That's watered down G20+ or whatever it's called.

From memory, the concentrate was around $22 for a bottle.

I mean the capacity of the whole cooling system - if it's like most small euro cars it'll be between 6 and 10 litres.

The fluid is G12++ 50/50 with demineralised water.

apart from a vw dealer, anyone know where to get g12++ coolant concentrate?

Imparts or HSY on South road. Get the right stuff not Supercheap supplied.

2 bottles plus water would be plenty.

nope - different.

Maybe a Euro parts importer like Imparts?
