Technical Checking antifreeze level

[dan-the-man]

Is there something I can buy to measure the antifreeze level in my coolant? want to make sure it's ok for winter

Halfrauds used to sell something which looks like a pippette on steroids that does the job

Then again, just change it and be safe in the knowldege it's been done right :chin:

Antifreeze tester from local motor factors usually 'bout a fiver. Take expasion Tank cap off, draw up some antifreeze and see where the float settles and read off scale & jobs a good 'un! Tend to check mine early October every year. 5 and a half years on its still showing mines good down to -29 degrees C

Google Maypole Antifreeze Tester... that's what I use
