Not trying to be difficult here...The dexcool is orange according to there specs and mine is pink. If it was a junk car I would not even hesitate to mix. I am just trying to figure out what brand or spec the pink is?

 

If you perform a colour analysis and add equal parts of orange( yellow + red) with pink, you get pink(sort of)
See attached.
My guess is that if you add some orange coolant and stir it up it will still look pink and no one(except us) will know

 

I am not saying they would not be close... But these are not Chevy blazers we are working on here!

 

Cloneman, if the coolant is still servicable, just top it up with some distilled water if it is only a pint low or so, if it is lower than that, Volkswagen has some early 2000's coolant that was pink. Zerex Extended Life HD is red and may appear pink when diluted. It is an OAT coolant.

 

Art I was looking last night and saw volts wagon already used a pink coolant. I did a thermostat change over the weekend so I feel like I probably need to add more coolant than just water as a decent amount came out of the car.

 

I
The VW and Audi derivatives are OAT Glycerin based coolants.

 

Art I just checked with the man that serviced the car last and he confirmed its VW Audi fluid in there.....

 

Good research. Glad you figured it out. I assume hat coolant is only available at a VW dealership.
