addz Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 It's that time of year again unfortunately.Have you topped your coolant tank with antifreeze?If not don't leave it too late as its getting colder by the day, -1 celsius today ;) .Also what brand are you guys using? Halfords stuff or better? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

addz Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Good idea doing a reminder for people though ;)Thanks budAsad - I don't see why you'd have to change the thermostat, i mean is the car cooling ok without overheating? drop of antifreeze shouldnt harm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

addz Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 You should be ok with a touch of antifreeze ontop of coolant.Always check once a mechanic has finished, piece of mind more than anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I`d feel better if i flushed it with a water hose, replaced it with new SAMCO hoses n put new antifreeze in lol..... ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
