G12 = clear??

[6316]

So I got the car back last week after the engine replacement, noticed that in the coolant reservoir the coolant liquid is clear? the last I checked G12s are red ... this one has a slight gooey texture and a little gold/yellow/clear piss colour (and the usual coolant smell) to it...

Haven't called up the service advisor yet but am popping in later today to get an oil filter + checking a louder than usual injector tick from inside the car

Anyone? $5 says they're being cheap and just put distilled water after flushing the system out when they replaced the engine...

Hi, G12 is no more. It has been superseded by G12+ and G12++ which has different colour but most upto date coolant is G13 . They are in purple colour. But these coolant can mix with each other as far as I know. So probably they did a top up,or full flush.

They did a full flush last week... so I called the stealership up and asked them to clarify if it was supposed to be a G12 or something and they just said it wasn't supposed to be clear so they're offering to check it for me.

What. Is. Going. On. with these people...

I'm not a mechanic but I'm comfortably sure that I could avoid putting something other than coolant into the coolant reservoir...

Just got back from the usual, was told it's normal and there's 9L of coolant and bla bla bla concentrate bla bla bla ... nothing that I don't know about... he knows what he's talking about, but I'm just not sure how bothered he is on rectifying it or even going a few lengths to find out why...

The mind boggles.
