timmaaah 0 Posted March 27, 2015 Need to replace the coolant after a recent thermostat change. The VW G13 stuff will cost me about £24, but the equivalent GSF own brand G12++ stuff works out to be much more reasonable at under a tenner. Anyone used the own brand stuff? Cheers :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted March 27, 2015 After my experience with Vetech wheel bearings from GSF, I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole! Historically VAG engines have had issues with coolant so it's wise to stick to genuine. They're constantly improving it and G13 has extra lubricants and rust inhibitors in it to extend water pump life etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
