A lot of people don't use it, and neither have I. Apparently it's just rad weld, and therefore a waste of money.

I was under the impression it is just rebadged rad weld, not sure if worth putting in or not, if you look at it the bottle is identical to the rad weld bottle.

If it's not broke don't fix it! Step away from the unneeded product!

Loads of NASIOC threads on this, Holts Radweld.

Just use a quality coolant like Motul Inugel or the like and fill/bleed properly

isnt there some stuff that makes your coolant warm up quicker therefore engine gets to temp quicker, wondered if that was worth putting in especially since its cold
