Vanagon coolant
Bizarre - August 4th, 2011 at 07:44 PM

What is the correct coolant for Vanagons??

I was told it was G12++ and been using that
replaced my long nylon pipes today and had to use a different mechanic as my normal one is OS

Anyway - he tells me I should be using G11

Opinions??

Barry I use G12 + which I believe supersedes the G11. Cheers Les

G11 or G12 whatever.Just dont mix it.
Also make sure you use demineralized water.
