- This detailed tutorial works for 2009 - 2016 Tiguan's GTI's, Jettas and other Audi's.
Any Vehicle with the 2.0 TSI engine this guide will work
G12 Coolant or OEM VW/Audi Coolant

Damn I can't wait to do this to my GOLF GTI thx!
Not familiar with German cars but everything made sense and nice ... Thank you
No problem! Glad it helped
Great video. I need to do this job but I'm a bit uneasy to run the engine dry like that. How long did you let it run for?
T.I.A.
My concern would be the turbo not getting coolant. Those things get really hot!
Good coolant video but my guy that timing sounds like it's about to go. Trust me my 2017 Tiguan just did it. That's a bad rattle
Good lookin out, my Haldex just blew up as i was driving on the highway with no warning.
How often should you do a coolant flush?
I’d say every 4 years or if you see a change in color for the fluids, also depending on mileage
Anyone got any tips on how to get the clamps off at the Aux's return? Mine are a pain in the butt to get off atm 😭
With proper pliers it’ll come right off
Will this work 2013 vw Jetta 2.0?
Yes if it’s got the same 2.0 TSI
The engines are pretty much all the same throughout the generations. Minor changes. You can do this easily to any VW
german cars feel easier to work on in my opinion rather instead than these more modern GM & Fords they're more complex systems
The 2.0T is found optional in many VW models. It is also something you should expect to see a lot if you browse the dealer lots or look online. It wouldn't surprise me if it was used the most by Volkswagen and Audi (and other VW owned brands). This thing I am about to mention about coolant is not a Volkswagen only thing. Be careful what coolant you choose even if you took a chance with a universal coolant. If one coolant is not compatible with the stuff that is already in there you may get a gel like substance as a result that will plug up your cooling system and heater cores. It will be a very harsh and very expensive lesson to you that you should have just used the correct coolant. The correct coolant is not going to be at all expensive compared to the cost of repairing the damage done by using the wrong one!! You will wish you never heard of universal coolant!!
Your video helped me drain my vw cc. Thank you. German cars can be so unnecessarily difficult sometimes lol
Glad to hear!
You mentioned about turning on the vehicle, to turn on the heater so you can flush the heater coil. Are you saying to actually turn on the engine, without any coolant?
It can be done but just for a couple of minutes. But not to eliminate the air in the system. (It is full of air at that moment)
Wow the turning it on heater did drop even more dirty water
sooo, after installing empty/cleaned expansion coolant tank you ran car w/o water or coolant?
How many miles does that coolant have on it? I had a Passat with the 2.5 and had coolant that had a similar color. I removed the reservoir and cleaned that with some coffee maker descaling solution while it was off the vehicle and slowly but surely it dissolved all of that rust from inside it and left it like new. Do this off the vehicle to keep that stuff from getting in the system and causing a problem. I also ran deionized water through the vehicle cooling system until I see no more rust. Just drain out what water will come out and add the appropriate amount of coolant concentrate. It is tricky to figure how much to use so I forgot. I can search it fairly easily if I had to do this again. I would be concerned that the crud in the reservoir may be in the heater core and transmission cooler too but are just not quite bad enough to cause a major problem.
This one had 80,000 kilometers, interesting the coffee maker descaling worked for you!
Does it apply for the 2009 2.0l turbo diesel engine?
What did you use to clean out resivour
did this and the plastic hose clamp snapped the pump 🥹 internet says $186-360 part
If it’s that brittle it was probably gonna break soon anyways. it’s a good thing it snapped in your garage and not on the road!
So you can just take the hose off the tank reservoir on top right these systems circulate the fuild
when you were flushing the heater core, did you run the car without any coolant in it? if so can running the car without any new coolant possibly damage the main water pump? i believe it is not good to run a water pump dry
When I do my cars (inc a 1.8tsi EA888), I dump the coolant and fill with water from the garden hose (soft water where I live so it's no problem) and use the car normally for a few days and turn the heater on occasionally. Repeat until the water runs clear and then do the coolant/demineralised water
Can i run peak euro purple 50/50 and not mix water with it?
to flush the heater core, you ran the engine with the lower hose disconnected?
I have same question…
Same question
Yes just did it
Is it safe to run an engine with no coolant? I guess as long as it doesn't overheat but I feel like it wouldn't take long
Is it necessary for the car to be somewhat warmed up to do this? Or can I just do it cold
Does this also apply to a CC 2.0? How dangerous is this to do/is it worth doing? I bought a 2009 VW CC 2.0 that was generally well-maintained except for some reason they were putting in the yellow/green universal coolant from O’Reillys instead of the pink/purple VW spec. everything is running fine, but I want to try and get at least 50,000 more miles out of it. All I know is I could never properly bleed my BMW once I started having cooling problems with it and it was a never-ending nightmare for years until I finally sold it to the junkyard so I’d like to avoid opening pandora’s box, but I don’t wanna wear it down early. Mine is clean just the wrong stuff.
Also, the local VW dealership in Pensacola Florida says they refuse to risk doing a coolant flush “older car” I guess 2009 is older?
Not dangerous if done correctly, I would change it back to the correct colored coolant, you know how sensitive German engineering is sometimes
Why in the hell didn't vw just have a radiator with a fn drain plug?!? Not encouraging
If you mean a peacock valve, they tend to be small. Your going to miss large debris in my opinion. Opening the hose helps ensure your pushing everything out.
So useful for me ❤
1.4tsi. Is it same?
Good job thank you
Thank you buddy
Mines tries to over heat when accelerating what’s your thoughts on it and my coolant needs to be clean also could that be the issue or a start just got it from a buy here pay here place 2015 vw se tsi
Any engine lights or codes?
I'm replacing the heater hose lines that connect to the secondary auxiliary pump. The plastic ones I had cracked over time I went with the doorman steel lines. Do I have to drain the whole system out in order to do this?
Awesome
😬
Is this the same with the beetle car
Yep if it has the 2.0 TSI engine
No, it's air cooled ;-p
@@bradleygray2103 yes, the old beetles don't have a radiator. The new ones do
Where was the engine Coolant filter in the reservoir? I might have missed it.
What engine coolant filter? None fitted AFAIK
@Spiderbug23 there should be no coolant filter in the reservoir! Nowadays almost all new coolant reservoirs come with a moisture absorber bag in it. Don’t forget to remove that bag otherwise it can burst and destroy your entire cooling system!
You can always use a flat head screwdriver to get between the rubber hose and the plastic thing that the hose is going over as well to maneuver it off a little more easily
To flush the heater core, you ran the engine with the lower hose disconnected? X2
yes
just dont let it overheat since you have no coolant in there. Just turn it on with the heater blasting, and monitor it quickly by running back to the front and once you see its finishing up, engine is getting warmer. Just turn it off. Than plug it all back up and do the last steps. No need to worry about air in the lines as it has a system that does it by itself. Just close the cap once done and monitor it for next few days to make sure your levels are perfect.
