Your dealer is the best place to purchase the correct coolant. Mixing the two will result in a foamy/gummy/nasty mess in your cooling system. No green, orange or any type of "global" coolant. Use VW or Pentosin G12 or G12+ coolant only. But if you live in a cold climate, it is best to top-off with coolant/distilled water mix to keep the freeze protection up. ![]() Small top-offs with just distilled water are OK. Need to find a different one with a correct position switch. ![]() Basically, the low light indicator will be on when the level is fine but would go off when the level is low. Top off your coolant reservoir and problem is solved. The switch was closed with the float down and open with the float up. As you start driving the coolant starts moving and heating up, this causes it to come into contact with the coolant level sensor which makes the flashing stop. Anyway, the light went off for a few days but is now back on. I used just standard coolant, not the type the manual said to use because I hadnt read it yet. It was low but not near empty so I filled it anyway. What is happening is that when you start the cold engine, the level is low.
