VW Volkswagen Original G13 Coolant Audi (Succesor Of G12++)

Product Information

G13 coolant is pink in color, while G40 coolant is yellow. The color of the coolant does not affect its performance but can help identify the type of coolant used in the engine. Freeze Point Here are the steps to follow when switching from G40 to G13 coolant: Step-1: Flushing and draining the cooling system

You can use the previous Q1030004 fluid in a Q1030005 factory-filled system ONLY IF the system is drained, flushed, re-drained, and then filled with Q1030004. The protection is nearly identical; however, the Q1030004 is not designed to last and perform as long as the new Q1030005. Genuine G12evo (new version of G13) coolant additives protect individual engine components, safeguarding the engine’s long service life. It contains substances that form a protective coating against corrosion, helping to prevent foaming and neutralise ‘hard’ water ie water with a high mineral content.

Over the last three decades or so, Mercedes has used three different coolant variants in their gasoline and diesel-powered cars. The oldest is Q1030002, a Yellow or Gold-colored G05 HOAT formula that is no longer available through Mercedes. It may still be available in small quantities through manufacturers like Zerex, but Mercedes recommends you drain and refill with a more modern variant.

The original G12EVO Ready Mix coolant additive is specially designed for the engines of the VW Group’s brands.G13 coolant is recommended by Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche, while G40 coolant is recommended by Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
