does it not say in the owners manual or try phoning VW, can't see why they would not tell you.

you get it from vw thenmselves, its called something daft like q4 or something but just go to the parts desk and ask for "pink anti-freeze" they'll know what your on about, its normally on a shelf behind the parts desk anyway! :laugh:

It's called G12+ they did G12 which I think was purple and now G12+ which is pink and will mix with all other types of antifreeze. Local VAG dealer or ECP or GSF do it.


You got any pics of your dad's split ?
