Do NOT use the new DEX-COOL orange/pink coolant in your Scirocco.  It is =
formulated for much later-model cars with different materials/alloys in =
their cooling systems.  I read a recent Car & Driver article/editorial =
that presented a strong case for only using the old-style 'green' =
anti-freeze in older cars.....and using distilled water to mix it with.

  Any advantage or disadvantage to the new 'pink' coolant?  Or is that =
just an environmentally friendlier formulation"
