[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 540832, member: 4527"] Few of us kena d. I panic and use tap water to top up. Didn't measure how much tap water I pour in also. Didn't bleed also and car seems ok until now. I however bought a bottle of 1.5L BMW coolant standing by now. My Toyota also I prefer to let SC do the coolant replacement because I don't know how to measure the 50:50 coolant water mix ratio. It seems if water ratio exceed coolant, the white powder will form and clog the radiator. If that's true, then my BMW got problem because I top up with tap water which upset the 50:50 coolant mix ratio.. :eek: How does foreman measure the 50:50 ratio at the outside workshop? What's the recommendation of coolant change interval. 1 year? 40k km? [/QUOTE]
