In the engine compartment on the drivers side towards the back of the car there is an overflow reservoir. The reservoir is a sphere, off-white in color and has a 3" diameter black cap that screws on. The cap made to loosen by hand, but usually takes a lot of strength and grunting to remove.

WARNING! Do not remove the cap if the engine is warm, hot coolant may spray out and cause severe burns!

There are coolant level marks printed on the side of the reservoir. Because of the age of the plastic reservoir, it is no longer transparent. This means the coolant level cannot be checked without removing the cap an looking inside.

What weight of oil should you use for a 97 Cabrio?

97 VW Cabrio calls for 5W-50 oil. It is hard to find in this weight unless you go with synthetic. Synthetic oil could be expensive, so you might want to come as close to 5W-50 as possible. Possibly 20W-50 if its not in the winter.


Where does the antifreeze go into a 97 VW cabrio?

Here's a general answer to all makes and models. Antifreeze is kept in the radiator (the metal zig zag tubing thing with fins in front of the engine block.) and a plastic reservoir (the one with marking of Max and Min markers. Not the one for windshield wiper fluid.) for extra holding. You can fill through the cap on top or some models on the side of the radiator WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. When you need to refill (if the antifreeze is lower than the mini mark on the reservoir,) you can fill it through the opening of the reservoir. Do not over fill. Because you need the head space on top of the Max mark to let the heated antifreeze to expand and siphoned back to he radiator when the engine is cooled.

What is the radio code for a 1996 VW GTI 2.0?

Every radio has it's own code. You need to go to a VW dealer and they will get the code for you by removing the radio. It shouldn't cost anything to do this unless there is a problem and they need a mechanic to help.
