I have been using water wetter (Red Line brand) in my 16v GTi for a year now and have had good results. These cars normally run HOT anyway and the water wetter helps a little bit. Helps the "flow" through the tight passages and lets water circulate better. Sort of like lubricating your water/coolant.
