Coolant fluid/antifreeze is a temperature stabilizer that prevents water from freezing in sub-zero temperatures and prevents water from boiling inside the engine. Coolant fluid needs to perform at specifications in all weather because the engine will overheat quickly without it regardless of ambient temperatures. Coolant fluid exchange service is necessary maintenance that ensures the engine operates at the specified temperature. Volkswagen generally recommends exchanging coolant fluid every 30,000 miles, or two years, but be sure to check your model’s specifics in the owner’s manual.
The engine cooling system circulates coolant through the engine to absorb and remove excessive heat. A problem with the engine cooling system spells big trouble for the engine with the greatest risk being engine overheating. It is important to know the signs of engine cooling problems and respond to any of them with a prompt inspection and corrective maintenance if needed. Here are the common signs that you are dealing with an engine cooling system problem:
