Post by: Andy663 on 19 July 2013, 23:30:39

What ratio antifreeze do you add if its ready mixed and how much if it's concentrated?

If its ready m,ixed you don't need to add water as it is already mixed and concentrate you need 50/50  :y :y

Readymix - neat
Concentrated - 50:50

Usually concentrated is cheaper, as readymixed is marketed to 2 types of desperate people:
Emergencies
Stupid people

And a fool and his money.... ;D


Be aware that some types of antifreeze are very incompatible with other types.

What do you have in now, and we can advise :y

I've just flushed the radiator, so it's ready to be filled - what would you recommend. I've got a bottle of Febi Bilstein (19400) G 012 A8F A1, in my garage it's in German so I'm not sure if this is compatible?

Sounds like an expensive Shiraz or merlot. ;)
