VW Volkswagen Original G13 Coolant Audi (Succesor Of G12++)

Product Information

The new G12evo Ready Mix product is more environmentally friendly and replaces the G13 predecessor, G12 Plus Plus. Glad I drained the whole thing, can I please get a confirmation G12 is the correct coolant to refill the empty system with? I have been performing the checks on my 2017 Q3 and noticed that the header tank specifies G12 coolant. Like previous ratings for this product, was not too sure if it needed to be diluted but the bottle is clearly marked as Concentrate.

Standard tap water varies in pH, mineral, and chemical content and may damage your new antifreeze and cooling system. or is there something really delicate about these cars that i really need to keep with using audi coolant even if i flush it all out and replace the entire system with an aftermarket brand? I have G12 ++ in there currently but the Audi dealership gave my partner G13 and said it would be fine. An excessive proportion of coolant additive (more than 60 per cent) can result in bursting pipes and the engine boiling, while an insufficient amount (less than 40 per cent) can cause cracks in the cylinder block/head or in the cooling system through expansion of the coolant. Genuine G12evo (new version of G13) coolant additives protect individual engine components, safeguarding the engine’s long service life.

The G13 has the same exceptional cooling and antifreeze performance as G12++, but it is manufactured using glycerin.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.It is particularly recommended for the cooling systems of light and commercial vehicles of the VAG Group (VOLKSWAGEN, AUDI, SKODA and SEAT), regardless of the vehicle belonging to these brands. febi is not just a supplier, and makes its mark on the market as a manufacturer with its 'solutions Made in Germany'. However, G13 is not ideal for older cooling systems with copper/brass radiators and heater cores (it doesn’t integrate well with the lead solder). When mixed in the recommended ratio with distilled or demineralized water, its chemical inhibitors protect engine coolant passages, radiator, water pump, and cooling system pipes from corrosion damage. As the successor of G12++, this advanced coolant formula provides top-notch performance to keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently.

I guess it's more about corrosion protection in the UK, or is it more about summer efficiency as it's not getting either of that cold in the uk winter is it? If you have any doubts, we recommend that you read your vehicle’s manual carefully or seek the advice of a professional.I completely drained the system to replace the PCV valve so want to make sure I don't need G13 since it is an older car. Throughout the years their antifreeze specification has evolved, with the latest (G13) established in 2013.

Audi's TSB says use G21evo for service in MY19+ cars; use G13 for service in pre-MY19 cars (unless there were any MY18 e-trons; e-tron is G12 evo only).G12+ mixes well with G12++ and G13, also with G11 and G12 but there is a loss of corrosion protection. Normal tap water varies in pH, mineral, and chemical content and can harm your new antifreeze and cooling system. Its main purpose, in summer, is to maintain the engine temperature below 100°C to prevent it from overheating and, in winter, to serve as antifreeze.
