G13 coolant
« on: 20 November 2012, 00:25 »
Hi guys, just wondering 2 things. Is VW G13 coolant safe to mix with the G12 my car already has? And does it come ready mixed in the bottles?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Also - anybody in Wiltshire/somerset fancy changing my drop links on my anti roll bar. I'll pay in tea, cake, biscuits, and a firm handshake. (I've totally ran out of money  :cry: )

Yes mate it's fine to mix and no you want to add water too it too,  usually one bottle of coolant will give you a freezing point of about -30 to -40 anything over -25 is perfect

When i changed mine (2-3 months ago) i did a total reflush and used G13.
G13 is basically the new "G12" and im almost certain it says on the bottle how much water to mix with it? And i used notmal tap water tbh.

Hope this helps :)
