VW Golf Mk 3 - carlh
I have just replaced the waterpump / thermostat on my 96 Golf. Replaced the coolant with Mobil 'Advanced' coolant (pink in colour). I've noticed that after a journey, there is a trace of evapourated pink coolant on the water pump which disappears after a couple of hours with no visible loss of coolant. I am thinking along the lines of replacing the water pump seal ? but am also concerned that I might have used the wrong spec coolant. Am I OK to have used the new 'pink' coolant or should I replace with the old G11 'blue' coolant. Any thoughts gratefully received.
