oh SH*T no anti freeze

You should have VAG G12 in there anyway, shouldn't you 50/50 and change every 4 years.

Why should I have this exact stuff in it? Does it make much of a difference. I always thought anti freeze/coolant was as simple as it gets. Stops water corroding the paths on the block and stops it freezing/boiling off?  :embarassed:

Better longevity, designed to work with the car, scene points etc.

Its only about £8 for 1.5l - which will mix down to about 4l (-30 degs), well worth it for genuine VAG coolant.

Is there anywhere scene i should get the water to mix with it? Can I import it from Wolfsburg?

Probably

But on serious note, use G12 - not cheap tat, another bonus is that it acts as a repellent for "oh SH*T no anti freeze" threads.

Note taken Mr Ben, but I'm not changing it in the madness that is the white carpet of freezing death

Anti freeze is Anti freeze the more important part is the water should be distilled water so you don't have minerals impurities growing in your rad  

Trick is to get 50/50 in a coke plastic bottle and shake it well so it mixes better, which is better than pouring neat Anti-freeze then water or vice versa!
