Why is the coolant light on my Volkswagen dashboard on?

Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.

When to Service Your 2019 Volkswagen Golf R Cooling System

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Volkswagen Golf R radiator serviced, but it's still extremely important.

When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2019 Volkswagen Golf R is essential for long-term engine health. In fact, Volkswagen recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad.
