VW Passat coolant is used to regulate the temperature of the engine by absorbing heat generated during combustion. The coolant circulates through the engine block and radiator to keep the engine running at an optimal temperature range.
The specific type of coolant used in a VW Passat may depend on the model and year of the vehicle, but it is typically a mixture of water and ethylene glycol with additives that provide corrosion protection, lubrication, and other properties necessary to maintain the cooling system's integrity. It is essential to use the recommended coolant type and to maintain the proper coolant level to avoid engine damage and overheating.
The type of coolant used in a VW Passat can vary depending on the year and model of the vehicle. However, most VW Passats typically use a coolant that meets the VW G13 specification. This specification requires a coolant that is made up of a blend of ethylene glycol and water with special additives that provide corrosion protection, lubrication, and other properties necessary to maintain the cooling system's integrity.
What is G13 Coolant?
VW G13 is a type of engine coolant that meets the specifications set by Volkswagen for use in their vehicles. It is a long-life, ethylene glycol-based coolant that is designed to provide superior protection against corrosion and overheating.The G13 coolant is a bright pink or purple color and contains special additives that help protect against corrosion, foaming, and cavitation. It is a hybrid organic acid technology (HOAT) coolant that is formulated to last for up to five years or 150,000 miles, depending on the vehicle's driving conditions and maintenance schedule.
VW G13 coolant is backward compatible with VW G12, G12+, and G12++ coolants, which were previously used in Volkswagen vehicles. However, it is important to note that mixing different coolant types can reduce their effectiveness and potentially cause damage to the engine. Therefore, it is recommended to use only VW G13 coolant or a coolant that meets the VW G13 specification in Volkswagen vehicles that require this type of coolant.
