TimVR 0 Posted November 24, 2003 OK, possible nomination for idiot of the year here.... my VR burst its radiator over the weekend - booked in for Friday, but still needs to be used every day. I'm keeping on top of the levels (so no coolant warning light etc). However, decided to add some more antifreeze tonight (10%v/v with water) - it is Mobil advanced stuff...recommended for VW with code TL774D - looked in handbook and the code for the C is TL774B. I'm hoping that B is G11 and D is a G12 + type coolant (so no gelling). The Mobil stuff is pink if that helps. Can anyone confirm? Any help much appreciated! Cheers, Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeVR6 0 Posted November 24, 2003 Pretty sure that's correct. When the handbook was written G12+ wouldn't have existed. So, assuming the letter denotes the various revisions of the coolant then... B = G11 C = G12 D = G12+ The coolant system will have to be flushed when they replace the radiator on Friday anyway, so running the wrong coolant for a few days will be ok.

andycowuk 0 Posted November 25, 2003 I think vag now only sell one coolant......cant remember code. As long as it is not frosty the effects of running 100% water for less than a week are neglegible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
