Hi all.Im the proud owner of a 86 T25 1.9 petrol camper,Ive just fitted a recon engine and all to do now is fill up the fluids and fingers crossed shes ready to roll.The question i have is that i was told that there is a special mixture of coolants.Is this true? And also which coolant/oils are recommended?Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Gary(aka The zer).

when you've looked in there and possibly not found it...

VW recommend G12+ for your system at 50% diluted, Or Comma antifreeze

and a 15w 40 mineral oil or even a 20w 50 for higher mileage engines

when i fitted my re-con engine i found i had to do ALOT more bleeding than i thought. Its something to be aware off... when doing my first few miles i had to stop and bleed it again.. and again.
