_Shane_ Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Alright guys, I just bought a new thicker radiator for my mkiv supra tt and I will be putting the new rad in later My question is how much coolant do i need, reason im asking this is because i roughly have 6 liters or toyota red for life coolant and if i put this in the system and say its not enough can i top the rad up with water ? Thanks in advance Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Turism0 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I wouldn't recommend watering it down in honesty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Turism0 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 yeh they are pretty much giving the stuff away at the minute, I picked up £300's worth of parts the other day from Toyota and the guy was trying to give me brake fluid and coolant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 somehow here in Ireland no places EVER give stuff away no matter what you buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I use the red coolant but after dumping about 3 litres on the floor, it was replaced with some distilled bottled water and is fine, all it means is that it can't go as cold but as mine sits in the garage over winter, it won't drop to -15 in there. Unless you have the car out in winter then I would say it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
