[s-cars] Antifreeze ? Anything enique?

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Hmm,

I bought my '91 200q20v and it had been converted to G12 by the previous
owner.  This was ~2½ yrs ago.  I'm not sure I'd go that route again,
however.  Seems I developed a pesky headgasket leak that was difficult to
trace, but nonetheless lead to a few expansion tank replacements, topping
of, etc....(and as TAKA mentioned, you can only use same).  When I replaced
the headgasket I converted back to G11 /equivalent just for this reason.
Additionally, I think it's a good idea to flush the system out periodically
anyhow.  So far no ill effects and if I do blow a hose in BFE I will have no
trouble locating a compatable coolant.  And yes, I usually travel with a jug
of 50/50 pre-mix anyway.
