VW Coolant

[tyrone27 at gmail.com (Derrick floyd)]

I used the red toyota coolant, G-11, and GM green coolant.  to me they
are pretty much the same.  how ever I flush my coolant every 1 1/2 so
it might not matter to much for me for corrosion.  in my pass
experences for high tempatures it was parts problems.  generally,
radiator, hose with a SMALL leak, thermostat, fan switch, air in
system.
