craggsy 91 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Most deffo pink mate.....think they have done you over.Coolant flush and refill is quite easy really Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 so what colour is yours?if you had a lot of build up internally it might be a dirty brown colour, specially if they used a flush product that lossened the cack off, had this before and just took repeated flushing to come clear, which you know a time is money garage wouldnt have bothered doing.

spadam 7 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Flush the system again and run a hose through it untill you get clear running water. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 also was your coolant pink before? if you mix blue and pink (which you shouldnt do) you end up with brown too Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 The coolant is now purple! It's g12 plus plus and it's the only on vw do now and it doesn't really matter as long as your flushing it but it will also mix with red coolant and blue! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 awesome, need to order some G12 + how much do I need?Pete Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 One bottle should be enough as I think it's 60/40 so mix it with water but if your a perfectionist use distilled water as tap water has corroding elements in it Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 the coolant systme is like 10 litres, thats 2 3 litre bottles of g12plusplus to make 60/40 ratio.halfords battery water £1 for 5 litres Link to post Share on other sites
