Note  
The water used for mixing has a major influence on the ef‐  
fectiveness of the coolant. Because the water quality differs  
from country to country and even from region to region, the  
quality of the water to be used in the cooling system has  
been specified by Volkswagen. Distilled water satisfies all  
requirements. Therefore, only ever use distilled water when  
mixing coolant for topping up or renewing coolant.  
Use only coolant additives as per ⇒ Electronic parts cata‐  
logue (ETKA). Other coolant additives may reduce corrosion  
protection substantially. The resulting damage could lead  
to loss of coolant and subsequent severe damage to the  
engine.  
Mixed in the proper proportions, coolant inhibits frost and  
corrosion damage as well as scaling. Additives also raise the  
boiling point of the coolant. Therefore, the cooling system  
must be filled all year round with coolant additive.  
Because of its high boiling point, coolant improves engine  
reliability under heavy loads, particularly in countries with  
tropical climates.  
The refractometer -T10007A- or refractometer -T10007B-  
must be used to determine the current anti-freeze value.  
The scale -1- of the refractometer is calibrated for the cool‐  
ant additives G12++ and G12evo.  
The scale -2- of the refractometer is calibrated for the cool‐  
ant additive G13.  
If it is not possible to ensure that the same type of coolant  
additive is filled: always determine anti-freeze protection us‐  
ing the scale for G13.  
Anti-freeze protection must be guaranteed down to -25°C as  
a minimum and, in countries with arctic conditions, down  
to approx. -36°C. Increasing the anti-freeze protection is  
permissible only if climatic conditions require stronger anti-  
freeze protection. It may, however, be increased only to a  
maximum of -48°C. Otherwise, the cooling effect will be im‐  
paired.  
Do not reduce the coolant concentration by adding wa‐  
ter even in warmer seasons and in warmer countries. An‐

ti-freeze protection must be guaranteed down to at least  
-25°C.  
The temperature reading on the refractometer corresponds  
to the »ice flocculation point«. Flakes of ice may start form‐  
ing in the coolant below this temperature.  
Never reuse old coolant.  
Use only a water/coolant additive mixture as a slip agent for  
coolant hoses.  
Coolant mixture ratio  
Coolant (40%) and distilled water (60%) for frost protection  
to -25°C  
Coolant (50%) and distilled water (50%) for frost protection

– Attach cooling system charge unit -VAS 6096- to adapter

– Feed vent hose -2- into a small container -3-.  
Note  
Exhaust air takes a slight quantity of coolant along with it; this  
should be collected.  
– Close valves -A- and -B- (turn lever transverse to direction of  
flow to do this).  
– Fit hose -4- to compressed air supply with a pressure of  
6 … 10 bar.  
– Connect ⇒ Vehicle diagnostic tester, and select following  
functions.

In cooling system, vacuum is generated by suction jet pump;  
needle of gauge must move into green area.  
– Also briefly open valve -A- (turn lever in direction of flow to  
do this) so that hose on -VAS 6096- coolant reservoir fills  
with coolant.  
– Close valve -A- again.  
– Leave valve -B- open for a further 2 minutes.  
Vacuum continues to be generated in the cooling system by  
the suction jet pump; the needle of gauge must remain in  
green range.  
– Close valve -B-.  
– Pull off compressed air hose.  
The needle on the gauge should stop in the green zone.  
The vacuum level in the cooling system is then sufficient for  
subsequent filling.  
Note  
If the needle does not reach the green zone, repeat the  
process.  
If vacuum drops, cooling system must be checked for leaks.  
The subsequent filling must be performed »slowly«.  
– Open valve -A- slowly.  
Vacuum in cooling system causes coolant to be extracted  
from -VAS 6096- coolant reservoir and coolant system to be  
filled.  
The coolant level must be above the max. marking after  
filling.  
– Remove cooling system charge unit -VAS 6096- from cool‐  
ant expansion tank.  
– Install noise insulation ⇒ General body repairs, exterior;  
Rep. gr. 66; Noise insulation; Assembly overview – noise  
insulation.  
– On vehicles with auxiliary heater, switch on auxiliary heater  
for about 30 seconds.  
– Set temperature regulator to “HI”.  
– Switch off air conditioner compressor. To do this, press AC  
button.  
LED in button should not light up.  
– Start engine and run it for max. 2 min. at a speed of approx.  
1,500 rpm.  
– Fill coolant up to the overflow hole of the coolant expansion  
tank while the engine is running.  
– Tighten cap of coolant expansion tank until it engages.  
– Then run engine at idling speed until radiator fan cuts in.  
– Check coolant level.
