    I think you have answered your own question if the Repco coolant is damaging your car and you put 3 litres in your dads Laser and his radiator is blocked and has to be replaced that would tell me to through the Repco crap away. I use Nulon OATS pre mix never had a days trouble with it Repco say there coolant is made by a quality manufacturer but can't or won't say who this alone would make me suspicious of there product hope you fix this problem soon.

    I've been using Cummins PG Platinum for about 10 years and never had a problem.

    Rick 130 who is an oil and coolant guru reckons it is good stuff.

    It also eliminates the need to worry about quality of the water you mix with concentrates, as it is used straight.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    After they had with corrosion problems in a wide variety of vehicles the local mechanic who is also a Landrover specialist, as well as tractors and other farm machinery only use premixed coolant as whatever Hunter Water was using to make the water potable was also causing a reaction with concentrated coolants and cooling systems.
    I've had no problems since only using premixed coolant.

    I was under impression you still only used demin water even with concentrate? Tap water is only an emergency measure to be promptly removed?
