Question G12 coolant question...

I need to top off my coolant - I purchase concentrate G12 coolant from VW dealership this morning - do I have to mix the G12 with distilled water? Is it okay to use tap or water from Brita?
I'm brand new to newbeetle.org - I am a proud owner of 2001 New Beetle GLS Turbo 5 speed manual.

Not really the correct forum section...but we'll forgive the noob.

Yes you need to dilute it according to the instructions on the bottle. Distilled water ONLY! No tap or "filtered" water!
