    Here are seven fluids you should pay attention to to keep your car running right:
    1. Oil
    Your engine needs oil to keep the moving parts lubricated. To check the oil, first take your car for a short drive, then wait about five minutes so it can cool down. Under the hood, the dipstick in the oil tank should be close to the front of the engine, near you. It’s usually pretty easy to find. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it with a cloth or towel, and then dip it all the way back into the oil tank. Pull it back out and see where the oil line is. There should be a notch in the dipstick to show you where a safe oil level should be. If it seems low, check the cap or your car manual for the type of oil you should use and then add some yourself.
    2. Radiator Fluid
    The radiator fluid keeps your engine from overheating. If you run low, you risk overheating in traffic and getting stranded on the side of the road. Check this fluid when your car has been driven, not when it’s cold. The contents of the radiator are pressurized, so never remove the cap when the engine is hot or running. You’ll likely find the radiator cap in the front and middle of the engine compartment. Open it carefully with a rag, and look into the radiator to see if you can see the coolant. If you can’t see it near the top, you’ll need to add more.

    The coolant fluid should NOT be topped off due to expansion. It should be filled between the MIN and MAX line! Also G13 is compatible with G12++
    Some tanks still show G12 not G13 as the video shows.

    There is a lot wrong with this video, you mentioned windshield washer fluid as "very expensive to buy" I can't tell if you are joking or not lol and you also forgot to include two other important liquids such as the transmission and the brake fluid. You also addressed that the coolant must be the Volkswagen pink formula liquid. This is also not true, yes it might be recommended but many more coolants can work just as fine, as well as the Castrol that's also recommended due to the additives in the oil, you can use other oil brands as long as they meet the viscosity specs. Hope this helps! And for anyone who may be seeing this, most newer VWs typically have electric power steering, requiring no fluid whatsoever.

    What about clutch and breaks ??

    • @Thecak3isalie
      @Thecak3isalie 3 роки тому

      depending on your model and year the clutch and brake system may be INTEGRATED. Either Way, you can't go wrong using DOT4 as it is formulated to work better in hotter temperatures and fights against moisture buildup better than DOT 3 (technically brake fluid is actually hydraulic fluid) DOT 4 is backwards compatible. DOT3 is ONLY good in DOT3 applications.
      * I have a 2013 TDI Manual (6 Speed)
      Be sure not to make my mistake and try to flush and replace the DOT4 Fluid properly about every 50-60k or else you will have expensive issues replacing the slave cylinder when it fails.
      Even if you go to a professional Non-dealership location to do the proper flush, it shouldn't cost more than $80-$100.
      Ignore it ? Try more like $900 for repairs because of the location of the slave cylinder. :(
