2001 Volkswagens used a coolant called G12. It is pink. It is no longer sold by Volkswagen. It was made by Pentosin, who still sells it as Pentofrost SF.
Volvo says "Volvo coolant"....I say pentosin pentofrost nf. It's the blue stuff. Not lifetime coolant, but can safely be kept in the system for a couple of years.
Is it pink or purple?If you don't want to flush the system and it's pink, Volkswagen G12 is used. VW buys their coolant from Pentosin, where it is called Pentofrost SF.If it's purple, or you don't mind flushing the system, Volkswagen G13 is used. In a Pentosin bottle it is Pentofrost E.
There are a couple of things you can use. All of them are expensive and all of them have to be mixed 50-50 with distilled water. DO NOT, whatever you do, mix modern-technology antifreeze with tap water!Your car came from the factory with Volkswagen G12 antifreeze in it. It's pink, and it's made by Pentosin who sells it as Pentofrost SF. If this is still available it'd be fine to use, but there's a new and improved model out there.New Volkswagens have VW G13 coolant in them. This is purple, it's also made by Pentosin (who supplies all the European automakers), and it's sold by Pentosin as Pentofrost E. As long as you flush your cooling system to get all the old coolant out, G13 is 100-percent compatible with G12.
There are only two acceptable brands of coolant for your car.The first is "official VW G12." This is pink and comes from a Volkswagen dealer. Volkswagen buys it from the German chemical company Pentosin.If you don't have a VW dealer in your area, or you don't like the one you have, the same product is sold as "Pentofrost SF." NAPA stores should have it; if yours doesn't keep it in stock, they'll special order it for you.

you always should mix coolant with water if it is full coolant. most coolant today says 50/50 on the package and is pre mixed in which case no, but if it is straight 100% coolant, yes mix with water.
50/50 mix of water and coolant is recommended.50/50 mix of water and coolant is recommended.
One type of antifreeze that can be used is Pentosin PENTOFROST A1. Pentofrost A1 is an antifreeze for Asian vehicles in water-cooled engines.
You should not mix colors or brands of coolant.
most coolant is 50/50 mix. however in arctic climate it is 50/70 mix
Yes, as long as you are using the correct coolant as recommended by the vehicle manufacture.
