Topping Up Coolant

Hi chaps, I've just ordered some G13 coolant on Amazon. Do you add it to the coolant reservoir neat, or does it have to be diluted?

Technically, you should dilute it. I would imagine the instructions should be on the bottle somewhere... If not, this link seems to suggest 50:50...

If you're only putting a small amount in, it won't really matter too much...

Cool, thanks. It's actually quite low - surprising considering the car has only done 5000 miles.

to top up mine when it started complaining back in November.
It was ready mixed so I just added it neat.

Wow, that's cheap. The VW stuff I bought was 5 times as much, albeit 1.5L and not diluted.
