TD5 and Evans waterless coolant

[nedflanders]

Has anyone converted to Evans waterless coolant in a TD5? Although bloody expensive I've been looking at doing this for a few years as the thought of a pressure free system is very appealing? I'm currently waiting on a new radiator and will be changing waterpump, thermostat, ditching the EGR cooler and it seems like an ideal time to try it. Are there any disadvantages that anyone has found whose actually tried it?

Advantages: you get to say 'I've got Evans waterless coolant, now with less calories'

Disadvantages: it's an expensive waste of money and you're up **** creek if you spring a leak in the boonies.

Save your money, give your system a good flush it with clean water and then stick with either the pink oat or green glycol, whichever you had before.

Okay, best coolant (manufacturer) to put in? Mines the red oat stuff

Best coolant ?

Is there such a thing ?

More likely a well maintained cooling system is more important.

ATM my preference is Cummins Tec Infinity Extended life coolant.
It's a HOAT, (hybrid organic acid technology) doesn't use 2-Ethylhexanoic (2EHA) acid that OAT does it (2EHA softens certain gaskets and creates leaks) and uses Propylene Glycol as it's base instead of Ethylene Glycol (so is non toxic to animals and us)
Cummins-Fleetguard claim it's the most advanced coolant available and compatible with everything else.

I find it's cheaper than anything else I can get and it's pre-mixed, I just buy it in a 20l drum.
