Wrong Coolant Top Up - HELP!

Hi all,

I made a bit of a catastrophic (potentially) error today where I topped up my coolant with the "wrong" coolant.

I saw a warning come on this morning about low coolant on the dash, so just used a VW coolant that was in the garage (from my Golf R). It wasn't until I'd done it that I realised that not all coolants were made equal.

This is the coolant that I used: VW Original G13

I added about 300ml (1.5 cups) I reckon in total.

Is this very bad or will it be ok? If bad, what should my next steps be?

FYI it's a 2018 plate and out of warranty.

Cheers
Jono
