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

No point in rushing these things, besides it gives you time to appreciate the Golf.Catch up next time.

He must have read the reccomended additive off the resivoir?
Those Vanagon's take quite a bit of coolant😵

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