cooling system wate amount? please

Post by Other-Power »

hey girls and guys

As i just rembered that there is three liters of best wales puddle water kicking about in my cooling system from back in February.

1.6 1981 N/A Diesel.

It needs a new water pump and i rekon its about time i got around to flushing the system out once i change the pump.

How much anti frezze does it need and how much water?

Thanks in advance

Capacity is 16 ltr, so I would mix the anti-freeze at 33% strength minimum.
Keep it real.

The 1.6 diesel engine is a golf mk1 engine, so bits for that should be very easy to come by.
