[wcpierson]

i need to refill my reservoir ### the sensor is annoying the hell out of me...what kind of coolant do i have to buy...thanks

you could either use distilled water since your only filling the resevoir its not gonna need much, or mix antifreeze and distilled water 50/50 and fill the resevoir with that. as for coolant get the regular glycol type ( mostly its green) antifreeze.

Since its summer you can just through some water into the res. but you want a 50/50 ratio when it gets cold. If I were you I would flush the system, and do a 50/50 ratio with water wetter coolant, it has been proven to lower temps, and with the heat waves that the NE has been getting that is a very good idea for a turbo'd car, esspecially since our cars engines run really hot.
