My low coolent light just came on. Where and what coolent can I buy locally from Autozone or other to top off the low level?

You need VW specific coolant. VW dealer only. Your car is a 2012... dealer should top it off for free.

Do not mix different coolant with VW coolant. Take it to service, they'll do it for free.

Thanks, dealer isn't open till Monday, so that's not much help for me right now.

Well how low are you? In either case its probably not a good idea to drive the car since the coolant went somewhere... so if you add more who is to say that It won't leak out.

Just use water (or distilled as some suggest) if you are in a pinch.

I managed to find some G12 at Napa Auto Parts and picked up some distilled water. No visable leaks, so I will top it off and take her in Monday. Can't say I am happy. Only 6500 miles on the car.

That's what I have been reading. I just added 2 cups of 50/50 ratio on a cold engine and now the level is reading 1/8th inch below the max line. I would say I lost at least a cup, because it was low on delivery and I just never did anything about it, since I planned to take it in for service on the 12th. Anyway, I plan to drop it off Monday morning for a pressure check.

After all the reading, it seems like most have had a slow leak. I wonder if its evaporating. We've had some very hot weather down here in Texas. Finally a good cold front came threw today.
