engine coolant G12+

[jonnypym123]

Hi I need to top up my engine coolant as it well below the minimum level, the manual states G12+ plus to be used but Halfrauds don't sell it ggrrr

question is do I have to use the G12+ ? the selector on their site points to G40
feel a bit hesitant mixing them
any help would be great thanks?

car: 3.0 tdi 2006

Yes Halfords sell it as Comma G40 for a ridiculous price as it is ready mixed but dearer than Amazon's concentrate..

The VW spec is TL774-F for G12+ or TL774-G for G12++

Both are suitable. G12++ has stronger anti-corrosion than G12+ and was standard from 2005..
You can also get G12++ online click and collect at Eurocarparts and GSF and online at Amazon.

Cheers mate might have to take the hit at halfrauds as im out for a 70 mile trip tomorrow, do you reckon its worth pumping the old coolant out?

As long as its the same colour (ie red) it's compatible so no need to remove the old stuff

ah good stuff, straight in it goes tomorrow I had a Halford fuel service about a week ago as well, would have thought they checked that in the process maybe not
