frank Club Member Dec 2, 2007 #2 alien10 i would top it up with neat antifreeze, if it only needs 1/2 ltr or so if it takes more than that, then keep checking it !

frank Club Member Dec 2, 2007 #4 alien10 yes till you can see a level, then it spits a bit out when it gets hot !
OP OP alien10 Ex. Club Member Dec 2, 2007 #5 cool, right best get some anitfreeze next question, does it go in when the engine is hot or cold
frank Club Member Dec 2, 2007 #6 alien10 you might scald yourself if you open it when hot, but apart from that it does,nt matter
R RTLkyuubi54 Guest Dec 2, 2007 #8 do you have an expansion tank? If you do it should be about 1/4 to 1/2 full when the engine is cold.
