    Coolant top up

    Hi
    I need to top up my coolant for gti. Am I able to use the penrite universal or should I just use their g12 equivalent?

    Thanks

    Use the recommended proper stuff or you will ruin your engine as different spec stuff is not a good mix

    A one-off top-up of water is fine.

    If you're constantly topping it up, there's a problem.
