Coolant System

Type Phosphate-free coolant G 012 A8F A4
Color lilac or violet (purple)
Specification TL VW 774F

Use phosphate-free coolant G 012 A8F A4 G12+ (purple), Valvoline G12 (purple) is really G12+.
Note the following mixing combinations:
G11 (green) & G12 (pink): NO
G11 & Valvoline G12: OK
G11 & G12+: OK
G12 & Valvoline G12: OK
G11 & G12 & G12+: NO
G11 & G12 & Valvoline G12: NO

Frost protection is required down to approx. -25°C (-13°F). In countries with arctic climates, frost protection is required down to approx. -35°C (-31°F).
The anti-freeze ratio must be a minimum of 40%, otherwise frost protection is reduced.
The recommended mixture ratio is 50:50. If greater frost protection is required (very cold climates), the amount of G 012 A8F A4 can be increased, but only up to 60%.
This provides frost protection to approx. -40°C (-40°F).
Do not reduce the coolant concentration by adding water, even in warmer seasons/countries, as cooling effectiveness will be reduced.
