The average cost of a VW 411 coolant is between $14.19 and $14.19.
VW 411 coolant, also known as engine coolant or antifreeze, is a liquid that is used to regulate the temperature of the engine. It consists of a mixture of water and additives, such as glycol, which lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of the coolant, preventing it from freezing or boiling in extreme temperatures. VW 411 coolant is important because it helps to maintain the proper operating temperature of the engine, preventing overheating or freezing that can cause damage to the engine components. Additionally, it helps to prevent corrosion and erosion within the engine and lubricates the water pump seals, helping to extend the life of the engine. Regular maintenance of the coolant system, including flushing and changing the coolant at recommended intervals, is important for the long-term health and performance of the vehicle.
Type of Coolant for VW 411
The VW 411 coolant was manufactured from 1968 to 1974 and it uses a coolant mixture of 50% water and 50% ethylene glycol. It is important to use a coolant that meets VW specifications, such as G11 or G12, to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage to the cooling system.

It is recommended to refer to the owner's manual or consult a certified mechanic for the exact coolant capacity for your specific vehicle.
How to Add Coolant to Your VW 411
- Make sure the engine is cool before adding coolant. Trying to add coolant to a hot engine can be hazardous.
- Locate the coolant reservoir. The exact location of the coolant reservoir may vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle. Consult your owner's manual or look for a plastic tank marked "coolant" under the hood.
- Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If it is low, add enough coolant to bring the level up to the "max" or "full" line. Be careful not to overfill the reservoir.
- If the coolant level is extremely low, you may need to add coolant directly to the radiator. To do this, wait for the engine to cool down completely, then locate the radiator cap. It will typically be located on top of the radiator, but may also be located in a remote location with a hose leading to the radiator. Never attempt to remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, as this can cause serious burns and injury.
- Once you've located the radiator cap, remove it and carefully pour coolant into the radiator until the level reaches the top. Put the cap back in place and start the engine to ensure that the coolant circulates properly.
- Check the coolant level regularly and add more as needed. If you notice that you need to add coolant frequently, there may be a leak in the cooling system that needs to be repaired.
