Antifreeze Pentosin or OEM Volkswagen

Yes most certainly I always use Pentofrost/Pentosin VW-Specific Concentrated Coolants. Always have for every VW I have ever owned.

Yes, that will work. I did Pentofrost G13 equivalent for my top-up coolant.

It is best to use the genuine BMW coolant, but in an emergency Pentosin NF antifreeze is apparently compatible with the OE coolant in your BMW.

Ditto. I only use G11, made by Pentosin.

I believe Pentosin Pentofrost A3 is equivalent and it's also $19 from Advance Auto. I have both at home because the Pentosin is equivalent to Subaru coolant as well.

I'm almost positive that VW uses Pentosin at the factory- I think the G12/G13 is the same stuff as the Pentofrost SF/Pentofrost E.

I use it in my Audi, VW and KTM Adventure without any problems.

Use the specified coolant I would use the specified coolant for the vehicle in which you drive and always use distilled/deionized water foreign or domestic! The cuts down on deposits and electrolysis from corrosion from using tap/ground water and or the incorrect coolant.

Do not, under any circumstances, mix generic auto store coolant with G12/13. If you are low, top it up with water - distilled preferably.

I used 3 of those Pentosin blue with a bottle of Water Wetter and the rest is water.. my temp is 30 degree higher than it was before and I don't know what the heck it was in there before which is this yellow/green milky stuff, it sure kept the engine mostly below 180. But now I hit 220-230 easily
