Hello all-
I have a 2012 TDI JSW with 9700 miles, and my coolant warning light came on. I checked the level, and it is just below the lower line in the reservoir. It's going in for its 10k mile service next week, but I don't want the coolant to be low until then.
Checked the manual, which calls for G12 plus-plus or G12 plus coolant. I didn't find anything with that spec at my local generic parts store. Went to the dealer, and they sold me this:
(Hrm, do imgur links not work? Link just in case )
VW Part # is G 013A8J1G
Which reads as G13 to me. Did this supersede G12? I didn't really find much definitive on the intertubez, so I thought I'd ask here.
Did the dealer sell me the wrong coolant?
I did not open the bottle to check the color, I'd like to be able to return it if it is the wrong stuff.
And at $33 a gallon, I now have my welcome to the world of VW parts!
