Where to buy G12 coolant

[laser05]

Hey everyone,

I am looking for some G12 coolant for my Passat and every Volkswagen that I have called is closed.

Napa wants $22/liter. So I am assuming the dealership will be even more.

Is this just what I will have to pay? I know I can find it online but I am looking to get it in Calgary. Thanks.

edit: I just found my receipt and I paid $28.54+GST at the dealer (Northland volkswagen) for a 3.78L bottle, so with GST that works out to $7.93/L.

Great! I will wait till next week to buy coolant.

Thanks

You probably know this already, but don't mix G12 with anything other than distilled water. Mixing it with other coolants will produce a percipitate and require that you flush it immediately.

not sure if concept1 is open or not, try them but they are usually closed on the saturday of a long weekend, that being said they do not have the closure listed on their website front page.

or deionized water, I buy my water for coolant flushes at Ctire, i think its like $5 for a 4 liter bottle of deionized water or something cheap like that. It is a good point because calgary water contains a lot of disolved minerals so you are going to greatly reduce the lifetime of your coolant (more specifically its anti-corrosion additives) so its much better to use deionized/distilled water.

As you mentioned Msector9 C1 is closed on the saturdays of long weekends as per their note in the "contact us" link.
