It should have a code on the cap or reservoir, such as G12. Make sure the coolant says the corresponding code on the bottle. The Halfords did last time I looked. Carplan G12 is £16.60 for 5 litres at Eurocarparts for comparison. http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Volkswagen_Passat_2.5_2001/p/Car-Parts/Service-Parts/Regular-Service/Anti-Freeze/?523770241&1&4708fedd28e0e21362a3f20d465f611895d89647&COLU

At Morrisons petrol stations, they do G12 Havoline Red concentrate for £2.99 a litre.

Halfords is £21 for 5 litres http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_21 9452_langId_-1_categoryId_229902
