When I bought my 91 vanagon, it had the green coolant in it and the van had NO coolant leaking problems. About 3 months ago I put in the (expensive) VW Orange Coolant and I have had no end of coolant leaking out of many hose clamps etc. Even the heads are weeping orange coolant and it is a new (50,000 kms) engine. My (trusted) mechanic says that orange coolant has "smaller molecules", or some such, and that if I go back to green coolant the heads will not weep and I will have fewer other coolant problems. Do any of you guys have any input on this? Malcolm Stebbins
