I used that new stuff from comma called something like 'glysantin' you can buy the green that lasts 2-3 year or the red that lasts 5 year, i wouldnt buy the red stuff like i first did as it looks like rusty water when its in .....

It is supposed to be less corrosive to the engine e.t.c....

Its used by all the top car makers like VW, mercedes e.t.c

It was £7 for 3 liters...

Just wondering what type of coolant/anti-freeze I need to replace the coolant in my car? Also what ratio would I need to mix it at?

Thanks in advance

I used Bluecol last year. No adverse effects yet. (I have used Bluecol for donkeys years in Pugs with no probs and they have iron and aluminium bits too)

Concentration depends on temperatures you wish to protect against and the back of the bottle gives you relevant ratio's of fluid versus water. Hope this helps

I think I used 50:50, but it was nearly a year ago, so I could be mistaken

Would there be any types of coolant/anti-freeze that would be harmful to my scoobs engine?

I don't know too much about this but I seem to remember when aluminium engine bits emerged years ago some anti-freezes actually corroded them. Radiators I think got it big time especially in Pugs. Check on bottle to see if it is OK for all engines. I could be talking bullocks but I think glycerol is OK for everything. Best check that last nugget of info though!
