Off the top of my head its something like 6.8litres

Edit: I just checked ELSA and it says 6.8litres for VRS. But not sure what model you have so see below:

Engine Coolant capacity

1.2 ltr./40 kW and 1.2 ltr./47 kW approx. 5.1 ltr.

1.4 ltr./55 kW, 1.4 ltr./59 kW and 1.4 ltr./74 kW approx. 5.5 ltr.

1.0 ltr./37 kW; 1.4 ltr/44 kW and 1.4 ltr./50 kW approx. 6.0 ltr.

1.4 ltr./51; 55; 59 TDI PD approx. 6.2 ltr.

1.9 ltr./47 kW SDI approx. 6.6 ltr.

1.9 ltr./74 kW TDI PD and 1.9 ltr./96 kW TDI PD approx. 6.8 ltr.

2.0 ltr./85 kW approx. 6.9 ltr.

Also 50/50 is for protection to -35c. 60/40 (40 coolant, 60 water) is for protection to -25c
