Series 2 Coolant - 2.25 petrol

Okay so i'm sure i'm just being paranoid here, however having read that the wrong coolant can bugger up the lead solder joints in the 2.25 engine, i'd just like to be 100% sure before i drain and refill my radiator.

I've got some Xstream G48 that says it contains Ethylene Glycol. Guessing it's green judging by the labelling.

This stuff:

Should be happy to mix and put in?

Cheers,

its all Ethylene Glycol, its the additives that make the difference. G48 only has silicate based inhibitors which I think is the minimum you can get, other options are OAT, HOAT and advanced silicate based inhibitors

G48 sounds right to me

Great, thankyou, i'll drain her and pop some in then!

I use what comes out of the hose at the bus depot. No idea what it is or what mix but it’s free.

if your quick
