Product Information

Come join the discussion about performance, modifications, Quattro, racing, classifieds, troubleshooting, maintenance, and more! Not sure what coolant I currently have in my car (assuming g13) and not sure if i do have the g13 if i can mix it with the G12evo?

Note: dilute antifreeze with distilled or deionized water to a 50/50 concentration to obtain a protective temperature of – 36 ° C. What I found odd was that my wife's A1 which is 7 months older than my Q3 specifies G13, whereas my newer Q3 is G12. Their antifreeze specification has continually evolved through time resulting in the latest (G13) established in 2013. From steering, engine, braking, chassis and wheel fastening technology, to vehicle electrics febi bilstein has the parts you need.The advanced additives in the G13 coolant create a protective barrier inside the cooling system, guarding against rust and corrosion, which can cause damage and reduce the lifespan of engine components. G12+ mixes well with G12++ and G13, also with G11 and G12 but there is a loss of corrosion protection. The silicate coats and protects the cooling system internals, mfg's went away from it because of it breaking down and enviro concerns, which are now solved in SI-OAT coolants. When it comes to ease of use, VW Volkswagen Original G13 Coolant is pre-mixed and ready to pour, eliminating the need for dilution. You will discover the significant advantages of this latest specification in explicit detail by reading on.

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).As opposed to many earlier specifications using OAT-technology (Organic Acid Technology), G13 boasts silicate additives for extra healing aluminium protection. One of the standout features of this coolant is its compatibility with a wide range of VW and Audi models. One other thing about Pentofrost, you can mix colors and it will not harm the car according to the company that makes it.

But I'm also not sure how our cars (mine is a 2016) still use the old G12 coolant when G13 has been around since 2008. Major environmental factor: the production of glycerin is far less destructive to the environment than glycol. com/VW_Audi_Coolant_Cooling_G12_Plus_G13_Antifreeze_Purple_Pink_Pentosin_Vaic AT_HOAT_Hybrid_Silicates_Phosphates_Glycerin. What are the marked enhancements in quality in comparison to its forerunners G11, G12, G12+ and G12++? Standard tap water varies in pH, mineral, and chemical content and may damage your new antifreeze and cooling system.It's a tricky one, it's why I went genuine as I couldn't be sure with other manufacturers specs on fluids.

It performs best at high temperatures and prevents the engine from being destroyed by heat caused by combustion and friction. Although for present-day radiator types, G13 antifreeze is backwards compatible, we suggest thoroughly flushing your cooling system when upgrading from another kind of coolant to keep the system clear.
