Engine Ice / Water Wetter Coolant

[Teasy]

Just been searching but cant see anything on this

Has anyone got this in their system and which would you recommend, or any other that can be recommended

Any problems or advantages encountered ???

I used water wetter in my 106 rallye as it used to get pretty hot, works by breaking down the surface tension of water I think?

Made a little difference but not much.

I looked in my super dooper Leon manual last night but I cant see anything on the amount, does anyone know the capacity of Coolant required ? (as this is approx £15 for 2.5 litres....if that is 2.5 US Gallons)

2.5 gallons is 11.38 litres

Be careful of what you add to the coolant, I'm pretty sure that the Leon is fussy over what goes in?

G12 / G14 'pink' coolant all rings a bell - RTFM will confirm though

Are you suffering from overheating then? Because that's normally attributable to something else.

I can't see what something that reduces surface tension would do in a system with no surface

I may have got that bit wrong it was a few years ago when I used it

No overheating problems; a lad at work has a Mk 2 FR TD and he has it in his & recommended it to me (he's into modding etc.), tbh I hadnt heard of it. I'm just exploring the avenues with this product, may just stick with what I've got When I looked in the manual it mentioned the G12/G14 but no quantity
