interesting coolant stuff

[txrocco@sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

well I read information on the vw and at the time of production the green
stuff was the item to use, and I have never had a problem with it really,
now on my diesel ford, '91, it requires the orange stuff.. maybe them diesel
rocco's in the group could use it.

there are green coolants without phosphates btw, the usual store brand has
them, check the label closely, the newer green coolant product lines no
longer have phosphates in them.

=>It seems like we have run the full gamut of coolant opinions.  From
