G12 plus coolant8/12/2023 The dealer is explicitly telling me not to use the clearly labelled bottle that matches the manual recommendation.Ī) top off with this stuff I bought (white bottle, red cap)ī) get the grey bottle, purple cap stuff and use it.Ĭ) make no decision and top off with distilled water I don't know what coolant is really in this poorly labelled bottle I bought. So, to recap: I don't know what coolant is really in my car, but it doesn't look purple like the manual says it should. While undiluted, it looks closer to the color of what's in my car and was recommended by the dealer, but the grey bottle (with the purple liquid) explicitly says G12 plus plus on the bottle (matching the manual's recommendation) even though the dealer claims it's some mystery product that nobody uses. This G012A8G1G bottle has no mention of G12 anything or TL-VW 774 whatever anywhere on the bottle. He said that's what they would use if they were servicing my car. He brings out a white bottle with a red top and part number G012A8G1G. We start talking and he convinces me that what I really want is "the pink stuff". He says they've had this stuff for a year, but this is the first bottle they've ever sold. So I visit the dealership where I bought the car and tell the parts guy I need some G 12 plus plus, he goes in the back and brings out a small grey bottle with a purple cap (I think it was G012A8GM1). That would mean the manual is sort of wrong or very broadly defining the color purple.) (I should mention that the coolant in my car looks more pink than purple and I'm under the impression that G12 plus is pink. Both can be recognized by their purple color." It also says when adding coolant to use G 12 plus plus. The manual says: "The coolant system is filled at the factory with…G 12 plus plus (TL-VW 774 G) or G12 plus (TL-VW 774 F). If you'd like to read the long version, here's why I'm so confused (sorry for the novel): I'm trying to figure out the right part number for coolant I can use to top off my 2010 Golf TDI. Does anyone know what sort of coolant part number G012A8G1G is? Is it G12, G12 plus or G12 plus plus? It's a white bottle with a red cap.
