I had Audi A4. Do I need to flush the existing coolant before adding, or can I just mix with distilled water (1 to 1) as other people said.

U can add it to existing coolant if it's g12 . Yes add distilled water 50/50 to the coolant . Don't use tap water since it has varying ph values . If the existing coolant is not g12 then yes u need to flush it .

You can add full strength but you should mix it about 50/50 with distilled water (otherwise you're just throwing away money). Also it doesn't have to be exactly 50/50 depending on where you live. I live in southwest TX and I mixed around 60% water/40% coolant. The coolant is more for the cold temps. So you might be able to get away with just distilled water

All depends. Most modern cars do not have a seperate radiator cap. If you have the tank with a pressure screw on cap just make sure it all fits in and do the proper run time. I have that kind of system on my 2004 chevy truck. I have put on several thousand miles towing our travel trailer and have added no coolant. The truck runs better than it has in a while.

I am very sure it will. But after doing a lot of reading (as this stuff isn't cheap) what I found is, it is best to stay with what you have. If it is green-stay green, if u have "toyota-red" stay with red. Chemically, I guess they are a little different from each other and it is not best practice to mix them. I am not a chemist, but I am OCD about my Lexus, and read as many forums, reports and "scientifical stuff" that I did not completely understand, prior to performing my last flush. A majority are in agreement, stick with what you have, never mix (add distilled water if you need to) and perform regular flushes and you will be fine. Also, don't buy the premixed, you get 1/2 as much and the price is similar, simply, yes, but it is a rip-off. Grab some distilled water from the grocery store, it is about 1.00 a gallon, and mix it yourself.

what this product does is lower the surface tension of the water in your coolant, which in turn helps it cool better than untreated water. as long as you have water in your coolant, it will help. having said this, you probably won't get any kind of noticeable difference unless you have ONLY water in your radiator, which is usually not recommended. in an engine such as yours, which I'm not as familiar with, it may be fine to run straight water, as it is probably garage kept and not run as often as most vehicles. in this case if your flat 6 has a radiator and a water pump, or just a radiator (as I'm sure it does) it will help a little. the only reason i bought this is because i have a driving style highly conducive of overheating, so i need all the help i can get. past that and towing though, again, you probably won't notice any change.

Not necessary. It can be added to existing coolant as long as the coolant/water mixture is correct.

Sure, just remove radiator drain plug and collect old coolant in container on ground. Also, recommend flushing radiator before refilling with fresh coolant...50/50 coolant to water ratio.

That's about right for a upgraded radiator. But in my situation I went with 3 gallons (bmw v8 w/upgraded radiator). Left me some for future use or emergency.

It is NOT premixed. You need to buy some distilled water. I read of a couple mix ratios on this but the consensus was 50/50. I mixed up a quart to top mine off. My mechanic does not stock it, and many auto stores did not. Mechanic said just bring in my jug when it's time to flush. I have no idea if my gallon concentrate is enough for that or not. We'll see when the time comes.

Just one gal is plenty. Use compressed air and blow as much coolant as possible out. Start from the top and pour the prep fluid in till you see it flush out the bottom. Then blow out again with compressed air. Now your ready to add the waterless coolant.

Your owner's manual should list an ISO standard for the Diesel additive it requires. Matching that with the standard for this should confirm that it's the same fluid. I use this in an Audi in place of that manufacturer's own brand of diesel exhaust fluid.

Yes, its for vw cars. Double check coolant you have now in car if you do refill ( G10 mix and G13 its ok).

One of them is undiluted, the other is a 50/50 pre-mix. Undiluted is better value for money and allows you to choose your own ratio of coolant to water. Pre-mixed is better if you're lazy. :)

Up to half a quart over is fine. If adding this would be over filling more than that you would probably want to siphon a little out first. Filling and draining repeatedly through the dipstick would just remove the stuff your adding if you didn't run the engine in between.

It doesn't come pre-mixed, so you'll need to mix it with water. It's useful to have another container that you can mix with. Just make sure they can hold the same amount of volume, otherwise you'll need a good way to measure the mix. Typically I keep an old used coolant jug (rinsed of course) from the generic brands for this purpose. Like many others have said, 50/50 is best recommended.

yes you do have an aluminum radiator in that car. drain all coolant from vehicle. fill with water add a quarter cup of radiator cleaner. and run for 15 to 20 minutes. drain and repeat if necessary. flush radiator with water. and refill with 50:50 mixture of antifreeze

This is full strength and needs to be mixed with water. One will do a whole coolant flush.
