Just a quickie but is comma extreme 48 ok to use in a 1.9 water cooled 1983. As when I went to local parts suppliers and told them I wanted phosphate free coolant for vw t25 this is what they gave me. Thanks for any help

No, that stuff is not recommended for the VW flat 4 motors.

The Comma product that is suitable is Red in colour same as this here on Ebay

p.s. There is a whole load of info in our "wiki" here = https://club8090.co.uk/wiki/Co ... ded_brands" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but the upshot of it is the stuff you need is red / pink in colour and with either VW G12, G12+, G12++ or G13 compatibility marked on the can. (iirc G13 is violet in colour but is compatible and mixable with red / pink but NOT with blue or green stuff.)

50% antifreeze too. I put 8 litres of that in first. That way you know strength is at least minimum required - then add the 8 litres water (or whatever you can get in) until its full and bled. It soon mixes.

Thanks, suppose I'll have to find something else to do today then. Cheers

Clean out your dash of all those polo wrappers and assorted screws.

One MUST have a selection of assorted screws to hand and aren’t Polo wrappers kept for mending your bullet fuses?

Next job that as it's got to come out to sort the heater motor. Really looking forward to that one!

Started mine today after I got my MOT...seems everyone is doing these at the moment...loads of posts about it...

Stuck on the Shear bolts, thinking will "idiot" a groove in the top, then "idiot" them again to turn them anti clockwise...dont want to drill them out unless I have to...

as it turned out my sturdy mole grips were enough for the bolts, result.
