Re: coolant change
I would suggest getting a Haynes manual as its helpful for things like this
Coolant capacity is 6 litres with a 50/50 coolant water mix
You'll need to use 3 litres of red coolant ideally VW G13 genuine coolant
Simply turn heater controls to hot, disconnect the lower radiator hose, drain coolant, flush with water through the expansion tank, refit hose, refill coolant system with coolant and then water. Run for five minutes and check level and top up as necessary
