Doth Dex-Cool work in a manual transmission car?

I don't trust tap water. Distilled is not expensive at all.
Where's Sean Connery when you need someone to ask: "Hard or Shoft."

Think it was the orange stuff that stained the insides of my plastic 'never-last-long-pain-in-the-butt-to-replace' overflow tank.

I'm now on G-05, for the record.

I always keep a couple of gallons of distilled water around for this kind of thing. The only time I've ever used any tap water is when I flushed my system out for 10 minutes with a garden hose, then I blew it out with compressed air.

Then refilled with the "proper" stuff - I think it was prestone w/ distilled + water wetter...

God this is too much I'll do yellow color and pee in the tank, all natural don't you know and preheated. Now you scared me to put my coolent that's sitting in the bucket ready to be put back in, what the hell is that color it's dark out!

I could be wrong, but I think pee is high in phosphates

But you'd SHIRLEY know it when you've got a coolant leak.
Unless you wear astronaut underpants.

VW/Audi Blue is G11 IIRC. I think pink is G12. I run the blue in my 944 and my 99 Audi took the pink.

If you call the VW dealer you can get G11 pretty cheap.

The orange dex-cool causes a lot of deposits.
A powder and I don't like it as it seems to encourage leaks.
