Inspecting and Replenishing254
Coolant
The cooling system is filled at the works with coolant (purple in colour),
which complies with the specification TL-VW 774 F.
We recommend that you use the same coolant additive - G12 PLUS
(purple in colour).
Please contact your Škoda dealer if you have any questions regarding the
coolant or if you wish to fill up with a different coolant.
Your Škoda dealer can also supply you with the correct coolant additives.
Caution
• Other coolant additives may cause operational problems which,
in particular, involves significantly reducing the anticorrosion effect.
• Any faults or problems resulting from corrosion may cause a loss
of coolant and, as a consequence of this, result in major engine
damage.
Inspecting the coolant level
The coolant expansion bottle is located in the engine compart-
ment on the right.
– Switch the engine off.
– Open the bonnet ⇒ in “Working in the engine compart-
ment” on page 248.
– Check the level of coolant in the coolant expansion bottle
⇒ fig. 194. The coolant level when the engine is cold must lie
between the (MIN) and (MAX) markings. The level may
also rise slightly above the (MAX) marking when the
engine is warm.
If the coolant level in the reservoir is too low, this is indicated by the
warning light in the instrument cluster ⇒ page 35. We nevertheless
