antiquatedfreeze

[jab86@cornell.edu]

Now, I know that I'm new here, and probably shouldn't making waves in 
this pool full of quattro sharks, but what the hell.

The subject, as you may have guessed, pertains to this rather lengthy 
discussion on antifreeze.  You see, once, during my rabbit racing days, I 
cracked a head, and I swore that it would never happen again.  I did a 
little research, and found out that almost every single race team - 
including porsche - was using propylene glycol.  I did a little more 
research and found out that PG is a lifetime fluid, and is totally 
environmentally friendly.  PG also doesn't have the appetite for aluminum 
that conventional antifreeze does.

Needless to say, I switched, and haven't had any cooling problems since.  
I also converted my 1990 80Q to PG, and it ran great until that 
mother!@#$%!er ran me into the curb.  If anybody is interested in the 
conversion process, I would be glad to post it.  Conversely, if there is 
any reason that I am unaware of which makes PG bad for my Audi, please 
let me know so that i can rectify the situation.
