Antifreeze Pentosin or OEM Volkswagen

I had a bunch of Audi G11 kicking around from my Audi 100 that I used to have. Made by Pentosin, same smurf piss BMW used.

Put it in my e90 when I did the water pump.

Pentosin has good equivalents.

Drain/refill every two years for me, Pentosin coolant only!

I personally use Pentosin SF for GM cars,it's not the cheapest,but it is one of the best. Made in Germany. Similar to Dex-cool but pink,no problems.

CRP the USA distributor for Pentosin; discusses, service intervals with the various long life VW coolants (g12, 13, etc): in their line Pentofrost SF, E, etc @ 14:00: Pentosin - Antifreeze Looks like Pentofrost E; the latest G13 equivalent is recommended for your car with crp's application guide; mixed @ 50/50 with deionized water

I personally just use pentosin. They're only about $13 for 1.5 liters ( here ) and makes 3 liters. I keep a few bottles and some distilled water in my garage just in case.

Gear Hell no! Don't use that generic auto parts store crap. Pentosin, VW/AUDI only. Unless you don't like your car!

You will probably be fine running the Peak stuff if you have to, but I seem to recall a few years ago I was able to purchase Pentosin/Pentofrost from Advance Auto Parts. That was a brand that I saw often on VW parts sites and it meets the standards for using it in the MKIV VW cooling systems, so I went with that.

I'm flushing our 14 Tiguan this weekend cause the coolant is nasty as hell.

I also had the coolant replaced. I asked for the OEM stuff, which I guess is pink (?). They said mine was pretty much black !
