Hi All,
Once again just going thru the 130 and spotted that the bottom radiator hose, that also heads to or from the heater unit passes over a metal bracket that rubs a hole in the hose. OK so I bought the new hose and will install it tomorrow, but I hear that one has to be very careful with the type of coolant used- Please advise. Also has any one come up with a remedy to stop this from happening in the future.
Thanks
Malcolm

Just how never is "never"?
Ive done the same thing on more than 1 occasion, what damage can be done?

I believe mixing coolants can cause them to 'gel', but I have to admit to mixing green coolants for the last 20 or so years without a problem.
