Checking and relling levels
Get information from a specialist workshop
about which coolant is suitable for your vehi-
cle. CUPRA recommends going to a specialised
CUPRA dealer or any SEAT dealership for this
purpose.
To protect the engine cooling system, the ad-
ditive percentage should always be at least
40%. If more antifreeze protection is required
for climatic reasons, the additive proportion
can be increased. However, it should only be
increased up to a maximum of 55%, otherwise
the antifreeze protection would be reduced
and the cooling eect would be impaired.
The G12evo (TL-VW 774 L) can be recognised
by its lilac colouring. This mixture of water
and additive not only provides antifreeze pro-
tection down to -25°C (-13°F), but also pro-
tects the light alloy parts of the cooling system
against corrosion, prevents limescale build-up
and considerably raises the boiling point of the
coolant.
When topping up the coolant, a mixture of
distilled water and at least 40% of the appro-
priate coolant additive should be used for opti-
mum corrosion protection ›››page304.
WARNING
If the vehicle’s cooling system does not have
suicient antifreeze protection, the electric
drive system could fail and this could result in
serious injury.
●
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.
NOTICE
Never mix the original additives for the
G12evo coolant (TL-VW 774 L) with motor
coolant uid not authorised by CUPRA.
●
If the uid in the expansion tank does not
have a pink colour (resulting from mixing the
lilac additive with distilled water), but is, for
example, brown, the suitable coolant may
have been mixed with another unsuitable
one. The coolant must be changed as soon as
possible if this is the case! Otherwise serious
malfunctions or damage to the electric drive
system and the cooling system could occur!
For the sake of the environment
Motor coolant and its additives can pollute
the environment. If any operating uid leaks
out, collect it and dispose of it properly and
in an environmentally friendly manner.
Check and rell the coolant
