I found this gem on the internet and pounced on it. I got a very good deal and of course the great extended warranty.
The car has more power than my 2014 does and so far I'm getting at least the same mileage and probably more. I'll have a better idea on the mileage after a few weeks of driving.
While poking under the hood getting familiar with the CVCA engine, I noticed the coolant overflow bottle says G12.
G12?! I thought VW switched to G13 years ago. Did VW really switch back to G12 in 2015?
I don't have a problem with G12 and am glad that's the stated coolant to use. I think G13 is unstable when overheated and is causing the clogged heater core issues on the Passats with the CRKA engine.
Anyone else notice this?
