Hello: You shouldn't have poured the bottom of the water from the container you removed into the new container. Did you think that was snow too? If you added clean pure water instead. It is harmful to use anything other than pure water. Hello from Turkey.
Hi thanks for the video mate, can this at all cause pressure issues I have exactly same problem and same car, and wear in the same area? My car seems to be bubbling? Could this be the issue?
Bubbling coolant can be caused by a blown head gasket but if the bubbles are ‘starting’ in the tank it could be that the tank is leaking air. The tank and cap are cheap. Just replace them as a matter of preventative maintenance.

thanks for having the tools needed for each step big and bold
Great video. I bought my GTI Mark 6 brand new in 2012 and it's sad now to see it getting old...
I have the same exact symptoms on my 2012 golf TDI and this summed it up extremely well. You are the man
Great video, thanks Pete!
Awesome, gonna give this a go. Thank you 😊
Cheers mate, legend.

Use a turkey baster to suck coolant out and store in clean container. Less mess. Is there a chance of air bubbles cause coolant vapor lock?
Mmmmm a turkey baster wont pull coolant out of the whole system but just empty the reservoir.
You had something about replacing a vacuum hose but I didn't see you replaced anything. What exactly are you referring to?
He disconnected the vacuum hose to move it for better access, then REPLACED it (as in ‘put back in place’)..
@@ernestgalvan9037 thank you! I did the same thing and I'm totally fine now
would we have to put a new cap on, or would be able to use the old one?
Now I know you didn't watch the whole video! hehe. I did put a brand new cap on. see 3:08

Do you need to bleed the system or does it solve itself without bleeding any air?
It will self bleed. Normally you will need to top the level a couple of times. In the first few days.
Thanks for the info. I wonder if anyone knows what causes that “burn” mark on the tank. Such a odd and apparently common issue
