Re: wbx coolant
How much did you pay for your Red coolant and from where? I was going to go into CAF and get 20 litres of Comma's own as bulk is always cheaper in the long run.

That's not a trade price! Never go to the parts counter on the weekend unless you're in the trade

Re: wbx coolant
Good quality ordinary stuff is fine.. just change it every 3 years... (if it hasnt needed something before that..
Unless all the cooling system is mint, you'll be rather anoyed when the expensive stuff gets dumped on the floor.. Just my opinion tho...
(unless you happen to have a works vehicle to book it to of course..
