What kinf of Antifreeze for a 2000 vw beetle?

Answer 1

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.
