VW dealer is close to me so I'll probably just go ask, but I was googling at work and couldnt find it anywhere. Anyone know off the top of their head?

I have some at home, could prob check for you... but will be late tonight

I'd appreciate it. I dont even have the blocks or tubing for my setup yet. So not in any rush. Just collecting info.

all I know is that it looks awesome... using it 80/20 with 1/2 Tygon and white cathodes... I love it... I'll post later on today


Pretty much my drive for it :D Oh yeah how much was it for what size bottle? Im gonna have a pretty large external setup. So I want something that looks good but I'll need a lot of it. Probably 2 gal of distilled water so 1.6 gal of water so Id need a half a gallon bottle of antifreeze.
 
i got some of that vw antifreeze too but i only paid 15 bux for a gallon of it at my local dealer
and i mix it in about a 10/1 ratio with distilled water and it looks great

yep he is right, no propylene glycol
just ethelyne glycol, diethelyne glycol, sebacic acid, sodium hydroxide, ethlthexanoic acid, water, corrosion inhibitors, defoamers, silicates, and dyes.
i know there was no reason for me to list all that but i am bored so what can i say.
