Glycol Vs OAT ?

Post by piglet14 »

I never knew antifreeze was such a mine field.
Comma do 2 similar priced products, both red, both concentrate, both longlife.
One is traditional, one is organic.

Anyone know owt about this stuff? What do VAG put in?

You want OAT which is the red/pink one

Glycol isn't recommended for aluminium blocks

Genuine VW G13 coolant isn't much more

Genuine G13 is horrendous money, where are you buying it?
ECP do 5l of pre-mix G13 equiv. for £11 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331042350760
At least with pre-mix do don't have to worry about deionised water.

I was hoping for something that would also suit my 406, wifes 106 & my Connect van.
Looks like I was off with the fairies again.

I get it from TPS so trade prices

As for the premix yeah that's a good alternative

There's no reason you can't use it as an all rounder as it's just a good quality OAT mix
