Is it true that you cannot mix any antifreeze in a 2000 VW Beetle GLX 1.8 turbo except the VW antifreeze G12A8D that is only available from the dealer for 25 dollars?
Yes, you must use G12 type antifreeze which is similar to Dex-cool but they are not the same. But that doesn't mean you have to buy it from the dealer at $25. There may be other sources. PEAK® Global LifeTime™ claims to be a replacement for G12 but considering the importance of using the proper coolant, I would use only a G12 coolant.

Do you have to use g-12 antifreeze in the vw jetta gls?
no they have a antifreeze made for all makes and modles and color ^ you sir do not know what your talking about. Yes on VW/Audi's you must use G11/G12 trust me dont use the green stuff for all cars. It destroys your cooling system trust me i know I did that to my GTI because I needed coolant fast. If you put the green stuff in hurry up and flush it out and replace with with the Pink or Red G12. check out this site for anymore vw question www.vwvortex.com > You must use only G12 for any Volkswagen vehicle made after 1997. VW specifies only fully organic or OAT (Organbic Acid Technology) coolant in these vehicles. If you add any other coolant to G12 it will turn it into a brown, sludgy goo. See www.wunderkar.ca/fluid.html for some info and pictures.
What kinf of Antifreeze for a 2000 vw beetle?
Volkswagen antifreeze is made by Pentosin. Only use that kind. It is, unfortunately, really expensive--a 1.5-liter bottle is about $15. Compare that with Prestone you can get for around $11 a gallon. Fortunately for you, it lasts three years.There are four kinds of VW antifreeze: green, which is for really old watercooled VWs; blue, which is specification G11 and is for cars from about 1989 to 1996; red (or pink), which is specification G12 and is for 1997-2002 cars; and purple, which is specification G12+ for 2003-on cars. Red/pink and purple antifreezes are mixable. Blue antifreeze can't be mixed with red/pink or purple antifreezes.
