Octavia 2.0 TDI 2017 - Coolant & Timing belt

[homelessdrop]

Hello everybody, i’m gonna try it say with my little worsted english

So.. i’m gonna change my timing belt and water pump, with this one change coolant fluid in system too. If i know it well, now G13 isn’t supported in concern and using G12Evo (000096320JG), right? 

How much i need from this coolant to completely change? Thanks 🙏

Answer from empty is about 8.4litres of G12++ or G12evo.

Because on the retainer is G13, but i’m reading of this and everywhere is compensation G12Evo. That’s right?

Yup - under the heading of "its a VW, so they damn well do what they want to" - we went from G11, G12+, and G13, then back to G12++ and G12evo.  There is a table of what is compatable with what; but for the sake of what you are doing - just use G12evo Ready Mixed or G12evo concentrated and use mineral free water to dilute.
