That was a good heads up, but when you read the details it says screenwash. Can this be used as coolant as well? I was about to order some, but I'm not sure now.

Antifreeze and screenwash are not the same, at least non that I know of, but you're right, the blurb (link) is confusing =

TRIPLE QX Red Antifreeze/Coolant 20Ltr Part No.: 52377048T List Price £89.99 Was £99.99 Now £29.99 Save 70%

Like to have a clean windscreen? Why not buy 20 litres to save you having to keep ordering more!

Detailed Product Information = 1 x 20litres of Red Screenwash

Shhhh - someone might have priced this assuming it's screenwash by mistake.

Defo Antifreeze

Several peeps have already 'Clicked & Collected'

Agreed, keep quiet

When I collected mine there were a few containers of the coolant in the middle of the shop floor, but there were far more identically sized containers of screenwash. I reckon this is either a pricing mistake, or they're trying to shift stock of the large containers of coolant - I imagine it's been a 'slow seller' at £90 or £100, when the same amount in 1 litre containers would have cost £58!

It's back. I've just got back from the local Eurocarparts store in Nottingham, and they've got a stack of the 20ltr red concentrate coolant drums in the middle of the shop floor. They're priced at £29.99. True to their confusing web-versus-store pricing strategy, I can only find it online (here) for £35.99, and only then by using Google (beats me why their website search function doesn't bring it up - might be due to their insistance that you tell them what vehicle you've got). There's probably a discount code somewhere that would bring the online price down, but if you just turn up in store it should be there for £29.99.

[The part number is 52377048T, and if you paste that into their search function it comes up under 'Exhaust parts' ]

This is enough to do two complete coolant changes in a WBX with some left over for top-ups, and since this coolant is designed to stay in the system for several (5?) years, it could be worth splitting a drum with someone. Or if yours is a typical 'waterleaker' though, just keep the second half for top-ups!

Incidentally, the cheapest way to buy this antifreeze, outside of deals like this, used to be their 1ltr concentrate bottles, but I see they've gone up to £4.99 now. So this 20ltr deal is the same price as 6 of those 1ltr bottles, and cheaper than two of their 5ltr bottles.

Still got mine. Well worth buying in these quantities as its not cheap stuff.

Bigger, just got back from Ecp where I bought a few bottles, although I only paid £3 and not £4.99. Would've taken it back in exchange for the 20 litre container but I just threw the receipt on the fire...

Went halves with my bro last year , bargain .

Is this stuff ok for a JX, (and for an A series Mini?). I must admit I'm confused by the different flavours of antifreeze...

Red longlife - easy

Many thanks
