Jim Bowen 1 Posted April 20, 2017 I looked into waterless coolant a lot as i was fitting new engine and cooling system, but decided against it. Quite glad i did now as engine came back out and i lost most of the coolant, seems a pain in the arse to try and reuse it. Never been able to undo the drain valve on the crack pipe, despite fitting a gruvenparts one. A couple of things i learnt about the waterless coolant. (my reasons for not buying it) Because the waterless coolant doesn't create any pressure, there is no warning your engine is overheating unless you always check the dash gauge, with normal coolant the pressure would build up and probably pop a hose off etc. Also i read its not as good as transferring heat as water. Its expensive. You would need to carry a bottle of it with you, as you can't top up with water. You end up thinking most manufacturers of cars don't specify it and millions of car around the world are cooled just fine with water/coolant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted April 20, 2017 Some very good points raised there Jim. I had wondered about it, but as you've mentioned I knew there would be some spillage/leaks at some point that would necessitate removal of cooling system parts as I'm always playing about with something (well, I used to be anyway!), so it didn't seem very economical due to that.

VAG-hag 0 Posted April 22, 2017 You have the cable you just need the plug. The terminals will slot into the plug just fine. Get to a scrap yard of eBay or something you need a 2 pin plug... female Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
