Anyone used it ? I am running a mk3 set up, on a hill climber, so is that about 3.5 liters ? or do ally rads hold more ?

I have a customer car which has it in.... obviously the main difference is that it does not boil, and hence pressurise the system, nor does it need changing, however if you split a hose there's a lof of money on the floor....

 

If you're going to use it, I would suggest a new set of hoses all round, and you also need to fetch all the old coolant out and flush the system with some special stuff...

my VW uses a water less coolant , air

Like the air idea ! This is a total rebuild with new rad and hoses so I may go for it :)

Be careful with this, further more to Guessworks point above, being expensive if you split a hose... that'll be the least of your worries, its also flammable! and very slippery.

so if something happens its a huge hazzard to anyone around you. Some people in motorsport are trying to ban it as when spilt on track it requires a big clean up (now imagin if that happened on the corner of a busy road)

Very interesting

Ok. But if your cooling system is up to scratch with new hoses this shouldn't be a problem..
I'm planning on using it when my cooper S is finally back on the road.

I use the Evans coolant its briiliant but expensive as above the boiling point is over 180 so less pressure in the system and it does keep it cooler. The only negative I have found so far is dont drop any on the floor it has an oily consistency so if you dont slip over its a nightmare to clean up.
