  1. Replace blue with blue it does matter, Honda like VW now has not pink but Violet G13 as opposed to G12 G11 and back and back. They are different mixtures, it does matter Pentosin ++ is G13 G12 compatible. so many blends, just like motor oil, all things are not equal

  2.  @DeepakKumar-lv4te  I am pretty sure G13 is backwards compatible, but ..another quandary indeed. does that mean you have to remove G12 before going with G13? Between pink, and now violet....it certainly is days long ago when it was blue or green in my many older VW's had VW's when they had blue, and green, last several have been pink, and now two are violet...CHEMISTRY....I would double check with the dealer guys, and see what they do all the time. It's not just any stuff and good. Same with motor oils, every model and years have a different spec....tedious indeed

  3. They have kept updating the coolant chemistry to deal with corrosion artifacts in new metallurgy of certain engine components, plastics, and also environmental issues when stuff leaks etc. I don't think there is yet one universal one jug does it all...hardly.

  4.  @DeepakKumar-lv4te  It's all in the coolant chemistry, and it's more confusing than ever about which ones are compatible with certain my engines, metallurgy and other components in the systems. If ya mix certain versions with an incompatible one, the coolant will literally turn to sludge. If the stuff is available that is marked on the tanks, stick with it. G13 may or may not be backward compatible, maybe only if you flush out all the old G12 G12+ ++ I'd stick with what the label has as long as it's still available. Our latest 2 VW's one is G13 the other G12+ 2019 2013 pink versus violet/purple. Pentosin ++ is probably what VW has in the VW jugs? But now there is Pentosin "e"....oy vey The VW dealer parts guy should know what is what to what year. Even teh service writers go crazy now with warrantys, that every year is different my 2019 had 6 year 72K miles, now 2023 was 5/60, now 24 is I think 4 and 50K

  5. When do ya have to maintain the lifts, change fluid, seals?

  6. all them plastic thermostat housing in all the brands, always leak over time...

  7. You should do headlite polishing stuff and get headlites back to actually being functional. Yellowed out headlites are bad bad bad. dangerous and un safe. There are several kits available, 3M and others

  8.  @SimmyMetal  Anyone can do it, the cleaning polishing kits are cheap, since the car is already there, people with these kinds of vehicles never see a detail shop, could charge $50 for a quickly probably get 5 or more cleanings out of a kit form 3M and others...people that allow the headlites to get like this, can't even spell detail...

  9. Straight glycol is not the same as coolants in cars....glycol is one ingredient in some coolants. all coolants not are not using glycol. Modern science happens
    1
  10. Like motor oils and gear oils, trans fluids, additives matter. Fluids are not all the same nor are they similar. specs matter. There is no one coolant blend that works in all cars, if it did, don't you think mfgs would be using it? The days of green one size fits all coolants are long gone, decades ago.

  11. What kind of liability insurance and employee insurances , can't be cheap, don't give away diagnosis time

  12. "PETCOCK".....more oooogggaaahhhh

  13. VW used to have Blue, the colors matter, it tells you the mixture....a universal mix is not prudent. glycol, versus glycerin, and different metal protection additives. Over the years things have Old pink is not new purple violet...look similar, but it ain't changed

  14.  @DeepakKumar-lv4te  U.S. here. I have a current 2019 Golf R, and a 2013 Tiguan SEL...

  15.  @DeepakKumar-lv4te  My 2019 Golf r has been super great about my 17th or so VW product since around 1987, i drive a lot, but now retired lot less, only 87K on current R..had GTIs Jettas, Passats, Audi A6, even that was stick 2.7L Bi Turbo manual stick even!, it was nice etc Golf R stick of course, best one yet. Super quick, fun fun fun, handles like it's glued to the road. They keep changing warranty this one had 6 year 72K, now 2024 is down to like 4 and 50K Mine only had a thermostat housing coolant weep, fixed under warranty I was still under the 72K so I caught it in time. Not any other burp...it's my favorite one of all time...amazing what they get out of the 2.0L turbo, mpg is great smooth potent, less weight up front, and the 4 motion really does make it a step above the GTI, I had 2 GTI previously, lots of fun, really good, but the R is a step up in how it feels driving. Sadly 2024 is the last R with stick..

  16.  @DeepakKumar-lv4te  that's why I prefer stick, simple, just gears, and it keeps me engaged in driving, as in awake. I had on Jetta VR9 GLX stick never touched the trans, never 316,000 fun reliable never been stranded or stuck, ever, it was a great car, even the dealer says, don't touch it, leave it alone, I've been with the same local VW dealer for all my 17+ cars since 1987, i drove a lot. This current 2019 golf R, though is the most fun and comfortable, and super super quick, handles and in control amazing, it wants to do 100 mph effortlessly, it's easily reached on the main highways, without realizing it, car is so rock stable smooth quiet...they don it right mk7.5 so the better dash brighter easy to see. My son in law has a mk 7 GTI 2017 auto though, but it's super nice, daughter has 2018 tiguan, wife has 2013 tiguan all good. But the Golf R reins supreme

  17. Even TOYota has RED and pink variations for different years, engines..

  18. I cannot believe that a 55gal drum of coolant is compatible with all vehicles, doesn't seem prudent...

  19. VW Audi also has rules, not to mix different color coolants, when the coolant goes dark, it means a chemical reaction happened and changed the chemistry of the coolants, and it can damage the engine innards, corrosion, build up up corrosion. engines have become highly tunes to what oils, what coolants etc. Pink when called for blue on real old models, Violet for newer stuff, never mix coolants. It's not 1971 and all it was green, deadly glycol

  20. There is no such thing as all vehicle concentrate coolant, no way...not prudent

  21. Plastic is only forever when it's in the ocean.
