ANTI-FREEZE!!!!

Have you all checked your levels?

Im seeing a large amount of posts about damaged engines caused by the recent cold spell.

Ermmmmmmm
how, Where, How much
Ive also seen alot of posts but my engine doesnt even run at the moment batterys dead

ive just had nnew rad nd waterpump, nd my engines water bottke was below minus,,

can this become due to cold weather, orr ive gt a fxxkin leak??

mk3 needs about 2.5l's in the system for these temps. mines been standing since new years and i have about 98% anti-freeze and the rest is Forte radiator leak and water after rebuilding it.

Did you put anti-freeze in it after doing the radiator and things?

I cant fix my car at the mo as the water that was left in the oil has frozen. after dismantling it all i had to use de-icer to melt the ice in the water galleries.

If you want a good laugh then go on to yahoo answers, the amount of people who believe there petrol has frozen and daft things like that. hahaha and apparently you can put anti-freeze in your petrol.

ye i put the right ammount in,

sso im nt sure wats happend

odd. but anti-freeze will find anyway out. get a tin of Forte stop leak (blue lid) pour that in. i know fleet mechanics that use it to repair some serious leaks on sprinter vans. Just make sure you shake it well.

50/50 water/anti-freeze!!!

get it tested, just done mine and its good for -25, so should be ok
