[s-cars] Gelling coolant

[Mark Pollan]

I have never seen, only read (here mainly) of coolant coagulating due to
incompatibility.  If it were my S8, I would flush the livin' daylights out
of it.  I'm no expert but gel in my expansion tank I never wanna see.

IIRC you just recently picked up the S8.  Any documentation that would
indicate what was done to her pre-delivery?

I have noticed that the coolant in the expansion tank has a strange texture
to it.  It is almost like it is beginning to gel.

Any ideas what the story might be?  Can this be due to some kind of a mixing
of incompatible coolants and all I need is a complete flush, or is this
something else, possibly worse.  Is there anything I should do or some test
I should run before I pull the trigger on the flush?

Ideas?
