Pentosin Substitute Problem

[v8_h8r]

I drove all over the area trying to find Pentosin not to long ago for my setup. All the Audi dealers only had the red pentosin. Well I drove to a volkswagen dealership hoping they would have some and they didn't, but they had blue antifreeze that was for a european automobile. It was Volkswagen brand so i picked it up. Well it mixed up perfectly with 10 parts water 1 part antifreeze, exact color i wanted and everything. Well now when i start the loop it gets really foamy and doesn't dicipate. Well the temps are all fine and dandy and more than what i expected, the colors however are not. I bought a Fill port to install in a few weeks and my loop already has a resevoir, is the fillport gonna eliminate the bubbles? Did I mix the mixture wrong? or does this antifreeze suck?

Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks

Most likely air is trapped in your loop somewhere.

Most likely air is trapped in your loop somewhere.

so placing the fill port in the loop should help that problem yes?

well im fixin to rerun the entire loop its about time for it
and i need to install the new components. Im hoping the fillport will help out alot more than not having one. I will post the results after said incursions take place.

Make sure your res is as close as possible to your pump's intake.

I recently got a new Laing DDC Ultra and was just using a T-Line to start with and bubbles remained in the system for ages. I then made a res out of a small shampoo bottle and put it right next to the pump intake and the bubbles completely disappeared in well under an hour. The pump ran alot quieter as well once the system was completely bubble free.
