So if you are using G12, you have been using OAT based coolant for a while. ???????
Just checked the handbook for my CQ.
Correct antifreeze is G11 and is glycol based. I think VAG seem to have confused the market place with their G numbers?....and then there's different colours etc used by different manufacturers.
Minefield!!!!......that's an understatement!
