Hi Brent,

    Some time back while attentending a Volkswagen school in Atlanta, we had
a discussion about Vasserboxer cooling system corrosion. Having been dealing
with boats in salt water a lot, I had the idea of placing anti-corrosive
pellets somewhere in the cooling system. We do this all the time with
outboard motors, they are available at any boat dealer for about $10.00. I
take several and epoxy inside the coolant tank on all of my water cools. I
haven't had any corrosion problems yet. This last one has been over six
years, I had to replace the water pump last month, and got a look in the
system some what then. I also changed some hoses (it even seems to stop the
corrosion between the hose and water outletts) last year and didn't see
anything then either. I ran a 1.8 in-line four change over in a former
Diesel camper, for over eight years with no corrosion problems what so ever!
I still use the good coolant, and add extra grounds ( like wearing a belt
and suspenders. :-)
    May not cure/all, save/all, but for ten bucks, and a little epoxy, it
cant hurt.
