Which coolent
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.

Re: Which coolent
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

Re: Which coolent
