Can anyone tell me what can happen if you were to use too much antifreeze, and not enough water? Would you have boiling problems? Or is more better? I know you need enough to keep it from freezing. One of my other VW's gurgles a bit like it's boiling- in the overflow, after i shut it off hot. It stops after 5 - 10 seconds. I know I may have
put too much clear antifreeze when I replaced the radiator. I had not noticed this before the radiator. (I don't think it's the head gasket, as it would push water when you ran it)
