Yeah all part of car ownership, things cost money to maintain and keep running correctly. Think a saying that could run here is ''if you cant do the time dont do the crime'' lol.Originally Posted by Tony Walker
Coolants pretty expensiveconcentrate we get 25 litres for around £45 ish quid. The amount of times ive knocked the jug over too
and when its your money dripping down the drain... hurts. more expensive than fully synth oil.
But careless spills tony ... thats just nasty
lol yeah, so is leaving sump plug out and pouring 5 liters of oil with nothing on the dipstick and thinking hmmmmmmm im sure this only takes 4.2ltrs
Like me wasting 50 quid on gearbox oil with leaky driveshafts before the car had moved lollol yeah, so is leaving sump plug out and pouring 5 liters of oil with nothing on the dipstick and thinking hmmmmmmm im sure this only takes 4.2ltrs
lol.. funnily enough mine did the same thing after being stood for around a year, stupid nearside renault gaiters. cant say it cost me £50 tho
2 lots of oil, 2 driveshafts neither sealed up... Brand new shaft it was and oil, so considerably more than 50 lol and a crap smelling garage and mucky floor.
Damn
12 l of antifreeze in the GTA so I try and catch it when I have to drop the lumps
I went to Renault Notts the other day for some and they only had 10 l in stock.... which I bought , so you might not have any options Paul
12ltrs
It couldn't be any more plain. The colour makes no difference, it's just a feckin' dye. What's important is whether the antifreeze is OAT or IAT (organic or inorganic).
Stick whatever colour you want in as long as it is IAT (i.e. as per Renault o.e.).
Do not put OAT in, whatever the colour, because there's a chance it will screw your engine.
Why take the risk
We need a face plant smiley for RTOC.
What colour should I put in
New cars = Organic
Old sheds = Non organic
Kinda makes sense if you think about it.
Thanks for the really useful info guys.
NON ORGANIC EVERYONE
Either!
i thought you allways bought the same colour coolant as your hosesso red for me
My renault one was green
I think this thread continued because the advice being given out was dog sh*t. That's not the case now and I'm glad others have come forward to add their experiences and knowledge so there's no confusion over what C1J owners should be doing.
JRP, you tickled me like a trout you fecker
I don't think any of the advice has been dog ****, just people have different opinions and experiences
