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.

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.

Pros: cuts down on deposits
Cons: incorrect coolant

VALVOLINE Antifreeze

From the manual: "The manufacturer recommends using MOPAR Antifreeze/Coolant 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula HOAT (Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) or equivalent." Remember that the Routans are really Chryslers in disguise, so no need to go exotic brands on fluids. So you can try this: Valvoline Zerex ZXGO51 G-05 Antifreeze.

Pros: available at many stores
Vehicle: Chrysler
Mileage: 100000 km
Part number: ZXGO51

VW G12 and Pentosin G001200 are the same thing, both are pink/violet in color, phostphate, nitrite, and amine free. You should not mix cheapy prestone / o'reilys with the G12, it may turn the coolant to a sludgy substance and clog the system. Basically solidifies when mixed with other coolants. Also may build up rust or other small deposits through your cooling system.

Pros: phostphate, nitrite, and amine free
Cons: coolant turns sludgy, clogs system
