For most 2014 Volkswagen Passat models, the recommended antifreeze is G12+ or G13 (pink or purple) coolant, which is specifically formulated for VW engines. It’s important to use the correct type to ensure proper corrosion protection and compatibility with your cooling system components.
If you're not 100% sure which engine variant your Passat has — or how to flush, top off, or properly bleed the system — the service manual has everything you need, including coolant specifications, capacities, step-by-step replacement procedures, and torque specs for related components.
Whether you’re doing a full coolant flush or just topping it off, the manual will guide you through it the right way.
