General My Punto 1.7td

[Liquid Knight]

Room for a nice dual core aluminium jobbie and big intercooler there.

 

[CFREITAS]

It didnt leak but , didn't cool the car either .......anything over 35mph and she would start to over heat


Have filled her with waterless coolant just to try it
Seems to have gone the other way now won't heat up bugger

As for the room for intercooler ive got an intercooler from my Marea and will be trialling it on the punto

i thought antifreeze is worse at cooling than water

 

[blu73]

normal coolant is less effective at cooling that straight water yes, the coolant we use generally is just a rust inhibitor and to stop the water from freezing.

But you can buy purpose made waterless coolant which is designed to not be diluted - i never really done much reading on the topic but i know Evans is the biggest manufacturer of the stuff. http://www.evanscoolants.co.uk/

I got 5ltrs of waterless coolant for £49.99 which was fair

So far the fan hasn't kicked in yet so its doing its job
Which is a shame because want to see the cooling power of my 20v Marea fan

5l for 50 squid, thats to much atleast for me, you can get 3l of red antifreeze for 10 squid+ 1squid for distilled water

Waterless coolant makes all the difference
