Thread: Radiator Questions

Osay guys so questions...

Water as a coolant in my 2000 110 Td5? Should I be using a coolant or is water okay? I have no over heating issues at all and the truck runs like a dream?

Should I bother flushing it and replacing it with coolant?

Cheers

Water alone is a bad mistake. You need a top quality corrosion inhibitor, I usually use a concentrate and rain water. You need to be very careful not to mix coolants as they will cause gunk by reacting. Go with the manufacturers spec coolant.
