Low coolant, Can I....................

Featured Replies

.........just put a drop of water in or does it need the proper stuff. The coolant is about 10 mil below the minimum line. ..It's the Pinkey stuff,, Thanks..:):)

if you are just topping up bit of water should be ok

Am i right in thinking you shouldnt use 100% coolant.

Something like 40% coolant to 60% water??

It should be fine just to top up with water. I seem to remember that my Fabia had to have the coolant refreshed as part of the 4 year service - not sure if that's true of all the Fabias....

when changing it it should a 50/50 diluation

Thanks Guy's, Another satisfied Briskodian :thumbup:

Is it ok to top the pinky stuff up with blue ready mixed stuff or not?

I wouldn't advise it, keep with the G12+.

Is it ok to top the pinky stuff up with blue ready mixed stuff or not?

Ok to use water in small ammounts but we have been advised on no account to mix different types of Antifreeze especially the VAG A/F

not sure if it reacts together or congeals but best not be a pioneer and find out.

Cheers guys
