oh SH*T no anti freeze

Yer thats what has pissed me off, was fine until yesterday when it suddenly froze up. Anyway got my rad tested at loughborough radiators this morn and there isn't a single leak, he was very very suprised  Went to VW stealers too and got two bottles of g12, pretty steep at £16 for the two but cheaper than a new engine lol. Felt my core plugs too and non of them felt pretruded or flush with the block so i'm happy with them

Now just got to wait for her to thaw

£8 a bottle is pretty reasonable, its the going rate for most OEM coolant. GSF also sell the exact same stuff, pricing is similar too.

Make sure you mix it to 50/50.

Dont worry dude, certainly gonna be 50/50, going to buy a two litre bottle of water and empty to get it spot on. Kettle only. This has majorly pooped me up. Gonna try start her tommorow afternoon after lectures

Done and done- SHE LIVES!! 

turns out that the dude who has the factory accross the road from me is a dub head and was out chatting to me for ages. His dad has a W12 phaeton and until two weeks ago he was running around in a 700bhp bimmer

w00p!

Now go check your tyre pressures and oil level and you've finished your weekly Haynes checks.

may as well add myself to the list! golf is fine as the thermostat has recently been replaced and fresh antifreeze used.

the wife's seat on the other hand, schoolboy error after schoolboy error.  hyaving read this thread i've done it all wrong (chucked a litre of antifreeze in the header and left it! next day frozen. wife started car then used bouling water to try and thaw)

luckily it seems i have got away with it though.  it now has fresh 50/50 antifreeze
