Can i use G13 coolent in my golf?
« on: 30 July 2012, 18:08 »
As the title says, went to the steelers today got a new thermo, temp sender ready to replace them later after the gym, guy at VW told me i needed G13 when i said i wanted to change the coolent too but reading a few tutorials about changing it all everyone seems to be using G12++ so im worried now thinking i got the wrong coolent :(

Can anyone confirm if the G13 will b ok to use please?
