Hi,I changed my rad today and the coolant that came out was a sort of purple colour.Can  I mix another brand with it or only the purple stuff?If I can only use the purple stuff where can I get it?

Hi
Never mix different types.
It is most likely VW G12+. GSF sell it as well.

G12 is the recommended stuff by VW. Best of the best ;)

When you changed the rad you'll have little to no coolant left in the system anyway...

G12 from GSF or dealer or the pink readymix from halfrauds is just as good
