FAQs

Can I use this coolant concentrate without diluting it?

No, this is a concentrate and must be diluted with distilled or demineralized water before use. Using it undiluted can lead to improper heat transfer and potential system damage.

What type of water should I use for dilution?

Always use distilled or demineralized water. Tap water contains minerals that can cause scale buildup and reduce the coolant's effectiveness and lifespan.

How do I know if this coolant is right for my car?

Check your vehicle's owner's manual for the specific coolant specification (e.g., G12evo, VW TL 774-L) and type required. This Febi Bilstein coolant meets several key specifications, but final confirmation with your vehicle's manual is essential.

What is the shelf life of the unopened concentrate?

When stored correctly in its original sealed container in a cool, dry place, the unopened coolant concentrate typically has a shelf life of several years. Refer to the product packaging for any specific expiry date.

How often should I change my coolant?

Coolant change intervals vary by vehicle manufacturer. Consult your vehicle's service schedule. Generally, it's recommended to change coolant every 2-5 years or a specific mileage interval.

Can I mix this coolant with other brands or types?

While this coolant is compatible with coolants meeting G11, G12, G12+, G12++, G12evo, and G13 standards, it's always best to avoid mixing different coolant types if possible. If a flush is required, perform a complete system flush before refilling.

What do the different color coolants signify?

Color often indicates the coolant's base chemistry and specifications. While Febi Bilstein offers multiple colors, it's crucial to match the specification (e.g., G12evo) rather than relying solely on color, as colors can be similar across different formulations.

Troubleshooting

Coolant level drops unexpectedly

Check the cooling system for leaks in hoses, the radiator, water pump, or head gasket. Top up with the correct diluted coolant mixture if needed.

Engine is overheating

Ensure the coolant mixture is correct and at the proper level. Check the thermostat, radiator fan, and water pump for proper operation. Flush the system if suspected of blockage.

Coolant appears murky or contaminated

The coolant may need to be flushed and replaced. Contamination can reduce its effectiveness and potentially damage components. Use only distilled water for flushing and dilution.

Incorrect color coolant used

Mixing different coolant types can cause gelling or reduce effectiveness. It is best to completely flush the system and refill with the recommended type and color of coolant for your vehicle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This product is a coolant concentrate and must be diluted with distilled or demineralized water before filling the vehicle's cooling system. A common mixture ratio is 50% concentrate to 50% distilled water, providing freeze protection down to approximately -37°C. Always consult your vehicle's service manual for the correct dilution ratio and type of coolant specified.

Compatibility: The coolant meets Fiat 9.55523, Ford ESD-M97B49-A, and VW TL 774-L (G12evo) specifications. It is backward compatible with coolants meeting G11, G12, G12+, G12++, G12evo, and G13 standards, but always verify specific vehicle requirements. Refer to the manufacturer's vehicle compatibility list for detailed information on suitable engine codes and model years.

Care: Store the concentrate in its original, sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed to prevent evaporation and contamination. Regularly check the coolant level in your vehicle's expansion tank and inspect hoses and connections for leaks. Flush and replace the coolant according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommended service intervals to maintain optimal performance and protection.
