How to replace the coolant in a Volkswagen Golf 7?

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Antifreeze coolant

To replace the coolant in a Volkswagen Golf 7, open the bonnet to remove the cap from the coolant reservoir. Once the reservoir is open, lift the car with a jack and remove the screws securing the lower panel of the engine bay. After removing the panel, disconnect the hose connected to the radiator, allowing the coolant to flow into a suitably positioned container. When the coolant has completely drained, refit the lower panel and top up with new coolant.
