Not wanting to hijack the thread sorry, but what coolant can you put in, does it have to be Seats own or can you mix it?

Just my coolant is running low, and i have some pink coolant in at the moment but i have loads of BMW coolant at home but this is green? Would this cause a problem?

Cheers.

Oh no, just stick with VAG G12+ stuff from any VW, Audi, Seat or Skoda garage or van centre. Or even GSF - either the G12+ stuff or the same stuff in the manufacturers own packaging - or maybe even ECP sells the VAG G12+ stuff.

Always stick to VW G12 spec. A mate of mine mixed about 1/8L of standard (blue/green) antifreze in his polo. It needed a new head gasket 2 monthes later due to the incompatibility of the two chemicals.
