chaz g60 0 Posted March 8, 2006 Just a quick question to clarify, I just changed the black temp sensor and of course coolant came out so can i just replace with water till i get somwhere to get the G-12 and also what kind of mixture do you use?? In all honesty anytime iv'e toped up my water (which has been often recently) i've just used water! Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted March 9, 2006 I tend to have a bottle of ready mixed coolant, consisting of 25% G12+ and 75% water. Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted March 9, 2006 Yeah - just use water for now... You shouldn't loose any when changing those senders - just make sure the car is cold and you undo the exp tank cap to depressurise the system next time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted March 9, 2006 Tempest, is that actually the correct dilution? I thought it was 60:40 Water to G12+? ..nit picking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted March 9, 2006 Tempest, is that actually the correct dilution? I thought it was 60:40 Water to G12+? I often do use 30:70 (G:water), but in our mild climates, you don't really need to go beyond that. As a matter of fact, if you go too far, i.e. mix in too much G12+, you loose some of the cooling capabilities at high temperatures, as G12+ lowers the freezing point, but in doing so, also lowers the entire temperature scale of the coolant mixture.

chaz g60 0 Posted March 9, 2006 Right, cheers guys i din't have a clue about it. I'll grab a bottle today and put a bit in, Do you know how many litres of coolant the g60 takes when fully drained?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted March 9, 2006 G50 takes about 5 ltrs.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
