Waterless Coolant

[Ian]

So what do people reckon about this?

Technical info is available from the manufacturers at http://www.evanscoolants.co.uk/

Gimmick? Or scientific breakthrough?

I would try it it mine

I bet similar stuff has been around for a while

if it doesn't get that hot etc - how would that effect the bongo,s bleeding method and having air locks ?

I guess that would also eliminate any corrosion that could be happening right now in your system

lots of questions

A lot of Japanese manufactures already use water less coolant as standard ..

Toyota have used 'Toyota red' for years .. my own opinion (for what it's worth) .. remove it and use a good quality 'normal' UK anti freeze as then you know what is in the system .. and now what it as been topped up with ..

Unless you thoroughly flush the old stuff out and do a total re fill then be careful ..

Why .. ?? waterless anti freeze is not compatible with .. water .. and can turn into none efficient jelly ..

Given the frequency of leaks from coolant pump, radiator and pipes, I guess you would need to carry a few litres of the liquid in the van at all times in case there is a loss ? Perhaps a bottle fitted permanently in the front ?

And it's expensive

[ELZE]

surely standard anti freeze coolant is the way to go, any weaknesses shows up and it leaks right. If you have £90 a go stuff in and get a leak you have an expensive problem.
There's no guarantee any system will not develop leaks or faults irrespective of what you put in it.
