Evening all   Hopefully a nice simple question.  What colour coolant for s Mk2 Galaxy 150PD?   Read recently that coolant colour means different types.

All the VW engines are best ran on G12 (the fluro pink stuff!)

Also not a good idea to mix them, so if you are currently using something else and want to swap it you need to flush it out as best you can (hosepipe is adequate for doing so)

Red or Pink example is below.

Main thing to note is the Red is good for 5 years vs blue for 2.
