Owner reviews for antifreeze

I use peak violet european formula in my mk8 R.

I keep this in the trunk of my mk7. Haven’t had to use it, but I feel comfortable using it in emergencies

Look at Liquimoly website and it will tell you exactly what you need.

These tsi motors tend to run hotter then standard engines. I would top off the car (once cooled typically around a hour) open it up and take it to the line above minimum, that\u2019ll be your maximum. Watch it over the next few weeks. If it goes below minimum again, you have some sort of leak.

I'd say to change out the coolant, and transmission fluid. DO NOT GET A TRANSMISSION FLUSH!!! Just get a place to change out the transmission filter, and top off the transmission fluid.

Antigelurile de la Ravenol sunt printre cele mai bune de pe piata.

Valvoline HT-12, because I can't find genuine BMW coolant in my country.

I use BMW coolant cause it's similar in price, so why not. Actuall,y a little cheaper cause my dealer does discounts

VW coolant doesn\u2019t play nice and will chemically react with parts store general coolant.

I see your reservoir says G13 mit Silikat. Would recommend getting rid of G13 and removing the bag. G13 causes corrosion (resulting in a leak at the shaft of the water pump), leaves deposits (clogging the heater core and resulting in engine overheating), etc. Flush the system a couple times with distilled water and then fill up with G12evo coolant which doesn\u2019t have these issues.
