VW G12+ its pink and can mix with previous versions of VW coolant GSF [1] do it for £4.50 for 1.5Litres (concentrate, makes double) Avoid unreccomrended brands as the T25 is prone to corrosion on parts that the coolant comes in contact with (i.e the bolts that hold your engine together.) If these corrode then when it eventually comes to change your cylinder head these are likely to snap and your engine will bassically need to be rebuilt.


it will take 9 litres of coolant to fill your system. (before diluting) =6 bottles = £27.00 at GSF



The VAG specification for G12+ antifreeze is TL 774-F The VAG specification for G12 antifreeze is TL 774-D
