COOLANT COLOR IS IMPORTANT. From the factory, VW and Audi coolant is a bright pink or lilac color. It is called G13 and the previous version is G12
Each manufacturer has their own unique antifreeze color and it is important to maintain that consistency throughout the life of your vehicle. When a non-OEM or off-the-shelf mix all type of coolant is added, it can and WILL create problems in the long term.
When your VW or Audi coolant is topped off with something not meant for your vehicle, that liquid starts to chemically react in a manner that creates almost a loose jello. That thicker liquid is now traveling through your heater core, radiator, water pump, thermostat and all coolant hoses and pipes. NOT GOOD!
When coolant is a tad low, it is acceptable to add water to bring it up to proper level. If you notice a low coolant level, you may have a leak that needs to be addressed by a mechanic that knows Volkswagen and Audi. Thatโs us !
