Coolant

Post by Smiffo »

Popped to eurocar today to get some coolant.
Went armed with code off of old bottle.

Just noticed this one doesn’t mention G12 although the old one did.

For anyone who’s bought some of the Red/Pink lately, does this look right?

As long as the system is properly flushed anything will be fine.

I done mine last summer - took 5 flushes to get the system clean - use a coolant system flush additive.

i used g13 from GSF.

Its a long job to do but well worth it.

Change the stat while you are in there.

BW sell the gen one.

Now time to get your sleeves rolled up and get wet!

I didn't think it mattered in a Diesel, I assume that's what you have?
