Recently bought this nice little motor and discovered, after buying a tester, that the A/F to water was virtually nil!! Enough to -5°C.
Topped up with the blue stuff for now by draining expansion tank and squeezing a litre of Halfords blue in. I'm assuming it was a miniscule amount of Glycol already in just from the slight colour hint.
Did I use the right stuff? I'm reading conflicting issues between whether it should be VW11 (blue) or VW12 (pink).
Also on no account should be these be mixed. Why? (Just curiosity).
Finally. SWMBO bought an AF tester that gives °C of protection as its readout. I'm used to a % readout.
Anyone know of a chart that says "-5°C=x%, -10°C=x% etc.. I've always aimed for +50% but reading in -x°C means not a lot to me!!
TIA
