Title: Coolant silicon bag
Post by: Deddi on 27 November 2025, 20:49

I have had a good read of the posts on this issue and have decided to take the bag out.

I just want to make sure I have this right before I do it please,:

Looks like I have G13 in my car now (2016 GTI) according to what I have read. Also seems that I need a different version of coolant once the bag is removed - is it G12 evo?  So when I have removed the bag, is it ok to put some of the G12 evo in to top up the system, is mixing coolants ok? Then at some point in the future, flush the whole thing and fill with just G12 evo?

Thanks

This suggests its OK to mix https://www.coxmotorparts.co.uk/product/vw-shop/volkswagen-g12-evo-coolant-1l-5l/?srsltid=AfmBOoqH709q94Gn0CZBHTBf7hQKJufoRWC_JPFGuqR_ANurPjJ-6r9z
