RE: coolant

["Naresh H. Singh" <nhs1681@is4.nyu.edu>]

I have the blueish coolant in my 95 Jetta GL, I asked the dealer about
adding other coolants and water. He said under no circumstances should you
mix the VW coolant with any other coolant. In a pinch, you should use
water and then get some VW coolant later and restore the proper ratio of
coolant to water. I think the bottled VW stuff is pre-mixed.

'95 Jetta GL- Black
