Use the G12evo and don't look back.
I'm glad to hear VW finally realized the glycerin based glycol (the magic sauce of G13) was cooking the glycerin out of the coolant under regens and plugging up the heater cores. If G12evo isn't available, use G12++. There is no magic in all these HOAT...

One of VW's well intentioned ideas about coolant was to make it more friendly to the...

I'm amazed a 2015 Passat 6mt is still available. That car is a unicorn. The demand for any VW TDI with a manual...
Back in my B4 days I changed the gear lube every 100k miles. Times were simpler back then. G50, a full synthetic 75W-90 was all one needed. I never did chang the gear lube in my 2014. It had 108k miles on it when I sold it back to VW. I don't know much about the G52 gear lubes except that those...
