Coolant for a 92 VR in 2022

[James. 9]

Filling the VR this week, so whats everyone using ?

Heritage only list pre-mixed at £13 a litre 😳.

Anybody have a good word for this:

Febi coolant

Never thought I’d be confused over coolant.

I'm using ready mixed G13. I understand you should use deionised water so just bought the ready mixed stuff as it was going to be a lot of volume of liquid delivered either way so went premixed for that reason.

Yes, cheers. I have some de-ionised already.

Ready mixed certainly is convenient, but when you need 10 litres, it starts to look a little expensive for me.

I put the Comma product in the 8v and it’s performing as expected.

Just curious what everyone is using in 2022

Ready mixed G13 for me as well. Found there was too much confusion over whether you should use de-ionised, demineralised or distilled water, so gave up. Plus keeping a few bottles handy if you need to top up avoids having to use tap water.

Is it no longer available on its own? Demin water is only about £2 for 2.5 litres from Asda

That Febi one looks ok to me and quite well priced too

Have been using Comma G48 for the last 20 years simple because that is what they always recommend never really thought about using G12+, G13 in a pre 96 car. I can certainly see the advantages of the more modern fluid.

 Are the original Corrado radiators all aluminium? For some unbeknown reason I assumed they had some copper in them and therefore thought the later fluid’s weren’t suitable.

Time for a change I reckon.

We have gone over to G12 Evo mixed 60/40 with distilled water as that is the curent spec to TRY and stop MQB heater matrix's getting blocked; it is nearly that season again!
