I live in a decent sized city: autozone, checker autoparts, napa, etc. I'm looking for a good blue antifreeze to mix in the loop. Any ideas? I'm not so keen on going to the store and opening up each jug or asking some motor head ;)


Thnx,

Go down to your local VW dealer/service center. They should have blue antifreeze. It's made for mid 90s Jettas I think. Just ask for blue antifreeze. They should know what you're talking about.
 
Stay away from food colouring, in my experience it looses it's color after a few months, and stains your tubes an opaque brown after time. It's also apparantly bad for some pumps (something to do with particle size?).
 
I figure the less crap you stick in there the better so i'm not so keen on using food coloring + anti freeze. thanks for the vw tip. I'll give em a hollar.
