Default water wetter

anyone used this stuff and does it actually work?

is it safe to use on our engines, also do you mix it with anti-freeze or plain water for the best results?

thanks

i've used it and infact i have it in the system this year. the difference is only marginal because its in with the anti freeze/water mix. the best results come when using just water and no anti freeze! dont get it from demon tweeks cos its too damn expensive! get it off fleabay for £4.50!

Never ever used it, but from what I have read here (hardly to base an opinion on I agree, but.............) I am somewhat skeptical to say the least..................

with the lack of air flow to the rad on the escorts then it makes it that much hotter, agree it dosnt usually get that hot in this country but the shit design of these cars mean we have to take measures to keep cool.

S2 btw

it does actually work, was mainly used in race applications a lot of people that run hondas on trackdays use it over here as exploding rads on civics are a common occurence

as has been previously said its available from demon tweeks
