Replacing the coolant in a Golf 5 or generally in Volkswagen Golf models is very simple. Today, with the help of this short video tutorial, you will learn how to carry out this maintenance task independently.

First, open the bonnet of the vehicle and then remove the cap from the coolant reservoir. Once the cap is removed, disconnect the hose that connects the reservoir to the engine to allow the remaining liquid to drain out. When you have drained all the liquid, fill the reservoir with distilled water and coolant, and finally refit the hose.
