Anti-freeze.

Post by yellowtrev »

I know winter is already upon us and its a schoolboy error to leave it until this time but,

What is the easiest way to ensure that the anti-freeze/coolant mix is correct and still okay?

Is there a test you can do or is it easier just to replace it?

I read somewhere it weakens with age.

I bought the bike the back end of last summer, i don't know when it was last replaced.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

PS I love walking to the pub in the snow :)

Yellowtrev,
it's so cheep to buy a readymix these days I woldn't bother messing about. If you're not sure of it replace it and have done. At least you'll have the satisfaction of knowing when it was changed last and it was done properly.
