G12+ Engine Coolant

[Grippo]

My warning light has been coming on the past few weeks and being the king of procrastination I have only just looked into it.

My engine coolant has dropped slightly below the min level so need to add some of this. i need a water 60:40 G12+ ratio....

Anyone know where i can pick this up and how much? is it a petrol station, garage, halfords or dealer job?

Dealer

Halfords do it but you sure the prongs just don't need a scrub in the expansion tank?

I have heard this may be the problem

It's certainly a fix if the coolant is within it's range, but if the coolant is visibly below the minimum level then it sounds like the prongs are doing their job.

Personally I'd stick with dealer supplied, it's not that expensive and I don't trust Halfords! Not after they tried to do me out of a special offer of some screwdrivers with some oil, I had to have the manager come out to me before the checkout girl let me have them. And she was standing right next to the sign!

I picked up some G12 from the local dealer today. It cost me £8.50 for 1 1/2 litres
Mine had dipped below min level so I just added 200ml of G12 and 200ml water

No more beeps on startup

Hmm I do the 2:3 mix that is on the back of the bottle.

I used it neat.....

Although to be fair I had no idea what concentration was in there already, and I thought stronger is better.
