Coolant

[MtotheJ]

Just noticed whilst cleaning the Kwak that the coolant needs topping up. As i have never had to do this ever before i wasnt sure what to use so checked the manual. Seems that i need to mixed distilled water and some other crap. Is there an easier way of doing it? Like buying it pre mixed straight out of a bottle or something?

Cheers

you can buy premix but make sure you don't over fill as the expansion tank should only be filled to the max line which is half way up the tank

if its just a top up you can get away with just water, it will dilute the coolant a little more, but a drain and refill would need a coolant and water mix, see the back of the coolant bottle for details,

unless you live in a Hard water area (Chalky /Limescale) then tap water will do,

make sure you bleed the system if its more than the coolant top up bottle..
