water less radiator fluid

GRANDAD LES · 21st April 2019, 14:30

I have read with much interest about the Glycol based radiator fluid which does not cause corrosion within the engine, radiator and plumbing! I gather that this is a life time change providing the system has been flushed properly. Has any members experienced this product or is it "if not broken why fix it" ?

There are quite a few threads on this. Basically, it's an expensive alternative, but with a leak-free system can save costs over the long run (very long run I'd say). It's primarily a system used in the racing fraternity and by Siberian and North Canadian truckers. As you say, standard coolant works well, why 'fix' it?

Here's a satisfied user anyway: https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=276683
