Antifreeze specs.

Cheers mindriot. I went back to the garage that did the service where he topped me up and shown me the original VW spec anti freeze they buy directly from VW. It's got a part number on this that is in fact just G13. Shocking how VW wouldn't tell me and Halfords ....well.... I'm assuming VW won't tel...

Re: Antifreeze specs.

Not sure why people bother asking genuine questions in here at times.
I get G13 is the correct stuff. I don't get why Halfords state it's G40.

Antifreeze specs.

Hi. Can anyone tell me which antifreeze goes in a 2.0tdi 1968cc 140bhp salon Passat.

Halfords state G40 which from the pictures looks blue. In my reservoir it's pink. So which is it suppose to be?

Sport mode & MPG

Yes I did notice I can knock the cruise stick up or down with 5mph differences so at 70mph I hit a 50mph road works section. Knocked the stick down X 4 but then the car in front was doing 40 so I either went into the back of him / her or hit the brake. So I can see some advantages, but not really de...

How does cruise minimise fatigue? I'd say it increases it due to you literally doing nothing behind the wheel.

Re: Sport mode & MPG

I usually get just short of 600 mile to a full tank driving in economy mode. I may do the next empty to full fill up in sport all the way & see if I get further on a full tank. Albeit only road use.

So I drive the DSG in Drive mode all day every day which is supposedly the economical mode. I get average 34 MPG on the DIS. So today went out and decided to put it into sport mode and see what happens and how it drives. Sport mode on normal roads then hit a 2 mile county section. On getting home my...

I love the part. "We will carry out a full safety check of your vehicle whilst with us, free of charge" yeah of course you will because if half the population of owners agree to the work you claim was wrong then that's a substantial amount of your loss back isn't it. VW are going nowhere n...
