Re: Coolant problem
Often on fairly newer cars they used a coolant called DREX that is pink. If it overheats it clogs up the entire coolant system. You can not add anything to this except Distilled water. Otherwise the coolant turns to a consistency of brown mud. Yuck!!! I think this coolant is a design flaw and every car with it should be recalled. You can flush a coolant system for hours on end and never remove it all. My mechanic flushed my car for hours on end and even replaced my radiator and I am still having problems with it and went for a second round of flushing. The coolant gets thick and then clogged up my thermostat and then either it clogs up the heater core and you get no heat or the water flow is stopped at the thermostat. Good luck to you if this junk is in your automobile. It is the Curse from Hell. I think all automobiles with this pink coolant have a design flaw and should all be recalled. Sooner or later water will form from condensation and your coolant will be contaminated. Don't add any fluid unless it is distilled water.
Good Luck.
