The engine is a marvelous piece of machinery, converting fuel and air into torque for your transmission to distribute to the wheels. However, part of that conversion is creating a small explosion in your engine, and that small explosion gets hot. That heat only multiplies as your engine creates more small explosions, and so your engine needs a mechanism of staying cool. That’s where your coolant fluid comes in, and it’s important that your coolant fluid stays fresh, which is why we have certified Volkswagen coolant fluid exchanges at our service center at Southern Team Volkswagen.
Coolant fluid is made up of water and ethylene glycol, which act to both cool the engine and keep the coolant fluid from freezing in cold weather. This is why coolant fluid is sometimes referred to as antifreeze, as the two liquids are combined into one. As your coolant fluid works in the engine, it gets hot, and can degrade the elements of your coolant fluid to the point where they’re not as effective at cooling down your engine. That’s why you need to get your coolant fluid exchanged when it gets too old to function properly.
Getting a coolant fluid exchange means cleaning out all of the old coolant and refilling the system with new coolant. You want to make sure that you’re getting the coolant fluid that was made for your car, and that coolant fluid is OEM coolant fluid. OEM coolant fluid is the high-quality fluid that was designed by Volkswagen to go into your vehicle, and can provide you with the highest quality of cooling possible. We use OEM coolant fluid at our service center so that you get the best when you come to us.
