Mixing ratio antifreeze / water
50 % antifreeze concentrate with additives against corrosion and 50
% pure water, or use of an equivalent premixed coolant.
■ CAUTION: Take note of the specification from the antifreeze
producer.
Satisfactory results were achieved with "BASF Glysantin
Anticorrosion". Use this or an equivalent coolant.
◆ NOTE: If problems are encountered with boiling after
engine stop increase percentage of antifreeze
gradually.
In all cases, antifreeze to water ratios should not exceed the
antifreeze manufacturer's recommendations. Exceeding the
antifreeze manufacturers recommended ratios can lead to the
formation of particulates in the coolant solution or inadequate
protection against freezing.
■ CAUTION: Particulate formation may be harmful to cooling
system components and may restrict coolant
flow to and from overflow bottle.
◆ NOTE: At verification of the coolant level replenish water
in expansion tank. The coolant level in the overflow
bottle should be between min. and max. mark.
