Clear/colourless coolant

[ju571n]

Right as my car has a tendency of running g quite hot and the lack of an expansion tank it sometimes spray water out of the boil over and with the coolant being pink keeps making a mess on my clean gearbox and shiny bay.

Now the question is;
I have seen some aforementioned clear/colourless coolant but cannot remember where. Has anybody heard of this or did I dream it??.

Please help. I'm fed up of scrubbing my box with a toothbrush. 

Cheers J

Would it not be better to look at uprating the cooling, bigger radiator maybe.

I would investigate why it's running hot.

clear antifreeze / coolant - seen that at ASDA when I raided their DI water supply (need lots of that stuff for work)

What about twin fan set up from 16v and vr6

I'm pretty sure the other fan is for aircon.

If its of any use i have a twin fan vr6 setup, maybe get a bmw top fill rad aswell so youve got a expansion tank.

It's got a brand new rad on it and I fitted a slimline can on the front. I've ordered another fan now. But currently sat in traffic with one 12" it runs at 110. I put a low run switch and cooler stat in. It doesn't like running with the stat so I've taken it out. If the second fan doesn't work I've seen a shiny alloy side fill rad on ebay that would do the trick.

But in the mean time. Second fan should be there when I get home fit that to a switch thethen run some clear coolant from spasda.

BMW rads only work with vr6 coolant hose set up. 8V is plumbed opposite end.


Thanks chaps.

The fans are linked together via a drive belt so wont be for aircon.
