shail 0 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Dont put any old stuff in it, as it may not be compatible and sludge up. You can get G12+ coolant from GSF as well as VW. Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 G12 plus plus is the standard now from VW. 2 bottles and fill the rest up with water, preferably de ionised (ie boiled) water although you can get battery water from halfords for about a quid Link to post Share on other sites

baz8328 0 Posted March 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Wheres the nearest branch to scunthorpe ????Also will it be best to buy de ionised water or boil it yourself lol ??? Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 doesnt make a difference really its all just boiled water.Id recommend flushing the system thoroughly with a running hose and maybe go round the block a few times with just water when the systems up to temp and the top rad pipe gets hot running through it too, some right sh!te came out of mine when i did. I think ill do it again with a proper flusher that will get rid of all the sediment, but have to wait till summer to guarantee it doesnt freeze up as you have to run round with mostly water and the flusher stuff for a few days Link to post Share on other sites
