Which coolent

[sarahandthebear]

Hey guys just going to buy some coolent for our 1.9 petrol dg and I just wanted to make sure I get the right one. We had our water pump changed and the garage I am assuming put in the pink g13 as he is a VW bus specialist. I went on brickworks and found this one https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/t3-parts/e ... alent.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; it dose say purple so I'm not sure if that's the right one.

Pink g13 is perfect

[kevtherev]

Yes perfect
50% mixture.

It's not easy to completely drain the old coolant.
Using a hosepipe can help flush it out..
Put the 9 litres of G13 in then follow the Baxter method of top up and bleed

personally I use this its pink G12 equivalent

been using it for 10 years and I have had my engine apart and it's absolutely fine.

Can I use this to top up with as well just adding to the coolent already there my expansion tank sits below min when cold and then sits in the middle when hot I'm not sure if this is normal but it may be so I just wanted to top it up a little

[marlinowner]

Yes you can.
I use the Triple QX G12 as well.
