If you're just topping it up a bit you don't need antifreeze.

As long as its just a top up then water will do.

Just a random question out of curiousity, which other one did you think it could have been seeing as theres only the coolant bottle and scrrenwash there?

Im gonna have a guess and say that maybe the light has came on on the dash.

They are over-sensitive on VW's. A teaspoon full under the sensor level and the light comes on.

he was probably torn between the washer bottle on the other side and the said blue cap... the fact the antifrezze is red probably made him worry it was steering fluid or something

Good way to impress girls that mate, offering to top the water up and then having to ask online
