Cooling system
Fluids and consumables
Introduction
All uids and consumables, such as engine
coolant or vehicle batteries, are subject to
continuous development. For this reason,
whenever a uid or consumable needs to be
replaced, please contact a specialist workshop.
CUPRA dealers always promptly receive infor-
mation about any modications.
WARNING
If unsuitable uids and consumables are used
or used improperly, accidents, injuries, burns
and severe poisoning can occur.
●
Only store operating uids in their original
containers, tightly closed.
●
Never store operating uids in empty food
cans, bottles or other empty containers, as
they could be ingested by somebody.
●
Keep all uids and consumables out of
reach of children.
●
Always read and observe the information
and warnings given on containers of operat-
ing uids.
●
When using products that emit harmful va-
pours, always work outdoors or in a well-ven-
tilated area.
NOTICE
Use only appropriate operating uids. Never
confuse operating uids. This could result in
serious malfunctions and engine damage!
For the sake of the environment
Leakages of operating uids can contami-
nate the environment. If any operating uid
leaks, collect it in an appropriate container
and dispose of it properly and in an environ-
mentally friendly manner.
Cooling system
Introduction
Only carry out work on the engine cooling sys-
tem yourself if you are familiar with the neces-
sary operations and the generally applicable
safety measures, and if you have the appro-
priate tools, equipment and operating uids.
Works performed inadequately could lead to
serious injuries . In this case, get a specialised
workshop to perform all the works. CUPRA rec-
ommends going to a specialised CUPRA dealer
or any SEAT dealership for this purpose.
In the “Troubleshooting” section at the end of
this chapter can be found information on the

WARNING
Engine coolant is toxic!
●
Only store coolant in its original container,
tightly closed and in a safe place.
●
Never store motor coolant in empty food
cans, bottles or other empty containers, as it
could be ingested by another person.
●
Always keep motor coolant out of reach of
children.
●
Ensure that the coolant uid additive per-
centage is correct, taking into account the
lowest ambient temperature expected in the
location where the vehicle is to be used.
●
When the outside temperature is very low,
the coolant could freeze and the vehicle
could be immobilised. In this case, the heat-
ing would not work either and inadequately
dressed passengers could die of cold.
For the sake of the environment
Coolants and additives can contaminate the
environment. If any operating uid leaks out,
collect it and dispose of it properly and in an
environmentally friendly manner.
Coolant specications
The factory tted engine cooling system is l-
led with a mixture of specially treated water
and at least 40% coolant additive G12evo (TL-
VW 774 L).
