↳ I used to own a Polo, but now I own a.↳ Electrical, Bodywork, Interior & General Car Parts.↳ MK10 and MK11 (AW/BZ) Polo (inc GTI) - Years 2018 onwards. ![]() I may have had a bit of air in the system that has resulted in a small drop in the reservoir. Yes, the mixing fluid is either distilled or deionised water (probably the latter) to add to the G13 coolant. Protectiv 112 is available in Pink: 559 116 part number. Protectiv 100 is available in Yellow: 559 115 & 820 735 part number. VW mixing fluid, I did not know that dealerships sold that, I'd be very surprised if bulk mixing fluid is anything other than deionised water, using distillation as a method to clean up/purify water is very energy intensive as heating and lowering its pressure will be needed to cause boiling, passing mains water through a deionising unit should be all that is needed and saves a serious amount of energy.Īpologies for being a numpty, but what is a self purging cooling system - what does that do? The temperature protection depends on dilution ratio. Distilled water is almost impossible to find locally, Amazon seems to be the obvious choice but yet de-ionised water is easy to buy, although not quite the same).Īll these sealed cooling systems have built in self purging, it is achieved by allowing a small quantity of coolant to return to the reservoir - you should notice that there is a small "return" pipe at the top of the reservoir ad the large "make up" pipe at the bottom. I've got some G13 but I think I'll get a bottle of VW mixing fluid too - cheap enough at just under £5 for 5litres. Unlike some other coolants that may need to be replaced every couple of years, the G13 coolant is designed to last for up to five years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. One of the key features of G13 coolant is its long-life formula. Ive not read of any excessive oil consumption issues, but will leave owners of the current generation Polo to comment on their experiences.Ī really interesting post, I hadn't realised that air could be in the system and over a short period of time will work its way out but sounds so plausible now you've mentioned it. It is also sometimes referred to as VW G13 or Audi G13. I topped it up with G13 coolant and the coolant level has been stable ever since. ![]() I also had this happen in my previous generation Polo GTI. If my coolant level is low can I use G12+ liquid instead of G13 Volkswagen: Identifying And Mixing Factory F. ![]() This air then works its way out of the system over the first few weeks / months of use, and the space occupied by the air is replaced by coolant which results in a drop in coolant level in the expansion tank. Q - kooifiy6 - Via Youtube I have VW Golf 2018. The usual cause is air being left in the cooling system when it’s filled at the factory. Quite a few instances reported on .uk and by owners of new Golfs experiencing a drop in coolant level.
