Hi
I am doing some Mechanical Work on my 1999 New Beetle. I want to do a Flush with some of that Prestone Radiator Flush and Cleaner and I want to drain all the current Antifreeze from the system first. I read somewhere that the Pentosin G12, used in my car, has some sort of Lubricant in it and hence my question.
If I just used Distilled water and this cleaner and ran the car for a few days with only this in it, to let it get around the system so to speak, would I damage the Water Pump in any way? (Given that there might not be any lubricant for the Water Pump) if that information is even correct?
Concerned and would like some help...
