what type antifreeze to use

Post by Mr.G24 »

Good day

I'm going to replace the waterpump on my 2008 Jetta 5 1.9 tdi bxe motor and just want to ask which type of antifreeze/coolant I must use, apparently there are 3 different types.

thanks

Nope only one type. VW G12 or G13. Pink or purple in colour.

Do not mix the two. Either flush and put G13 or put G12.
