Protection against rust, heat and limescale – more on our genuine operating fluids and AdBlue®
Protection against rust, heat and limescale – more on our genuine operating fluids and AdBlue®
They protect the engine, transfer braking force, ensure a clear view and cleaner air. Discover our Volkswagen Genuine Operating Fluids such as AdBlue®, coolant, screenwash and brake fluid.
Fewer emissions with little effort
AdBlue® is an odourless urea solution. It reduces harmful nitrogen oxides in diesel vehicle emissions. What do you have to do? Simply refill AdBlue® after a few thousand kilometres.
- Economical:
A passenger vehicle requires 1.5–2.8 l AdBlue® per 1,000 km. The tank holds between 11 and 19 l – depending on model. - Easy to refill:
Inquire with your Volkswagen Partner, use our refill containers or head to the dedicated dispensers at gas stations. - Controllable consumption:
The consumption of AdBlue® depends hugely on your driving style. Drivers who hit the gas a little harder will have to refill more often. - Ready for nearly any temperature:
An automatic heating system ensures that AdBlue® is at the right operating temperature. Important: Do not fill the AdBlue® tank with an anti-freeze agent or any other liquids.
Technology in the tank
Volkswagen models with AdBlue®
In addition to their low NOx emissions, AdBlue® models can be recognised by the separate filler necks. Depending on the model, this is located either next to the diesel filler neck, in the luggage compartment or the engine compartment – as a operating fluid, AdBlue® has to be filled separately.
Tips for refilling
Refill AdBlue®
Depending on your driving style and the model, your Volkswagen consumes an average of 1.5–2.8 l of AdBlue® per 1,000 km. A warning signal will indicate when it’s time to refill – both 2,400 km and 1,000 km in advance.
Volkswagen Genuine Coolant Additive G13
Maximum protection at maximum performance
Our coolant also works under considerable pressure, for example at temperatures as low as -40 °C. At the same time, the innovate recipe protects against limescale, corrosion, acids and has anti-freeze properties. Also suitable for cars with fully aluminium engines.
Warning lamps: coolant additive
Coolant level too low, temperature too high or defective coolant system
- Illuminated:
Top up coolant, temperature too high or defective coolant system. - Flashing:
Defective coolant system.
Temperature indicator in the warning zone?
Stop, switch off the engine and allow it to cool down. Check the coolant level. Only then is it safe to continue driving.
Temperature indicator in the normal zone?
Check the coolant level when the engine has cooled down and top up if necessary. Level OK? Warning – defect! Don’t drive any further, then contact your Service Partner.
Defective engine coolant system
Don’t drive any further! Seek professional assistance.
Coolant temperature with a natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas engine too low
Avoid high speeds and too great a pressure on the engine.
Strong in the face of dirt. Protects your car.
Volkswagen Genuine Screenwash
Without screenwash concentrate, you’ll always have a clear view. It also protects your windscreen and the windscreen washer system against frost and limescale – without leaving any stains on your paintwork. Did you know that there are seasonal differences? In winter, use the concentrate with anti-freeze protection.
A clear view of the road
With our aero wiper blades, you’ll have a clear view in rain and snow. And at high speeds too, thanks to their aerodynamic and smooth shape.
