GSF "Vetech" own brand coolant

[timmaaah 0]

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 :)

I've used this one before and had no problems

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.

Totally agree
