No the Prestone won't damage anything as long as it changed on a bi
annual basis---

And in a poll, the finding were that  where ethylene glycol was
originlly used, the phosphate free stuff caused problems in the cooling
system, by allegidly causing leaks.

You be the judge---

Both my Vanagons have the green stuff---and no, zero, zip, problems--

��OK, this whole proper coolant for Vanagon issue seems somewhat
baffling to me. Someone in a recent posting offering advice on whether
to buy a Westy said they were concerned about the green coolant. My
coolant is green straight out of the container. It is Prestone brand. It
says safe for all aluminum parts on the label, but it doesn't say
phosphate free. So is Prestone safe? If not, what brands are safe? What
do phosphates damage in the engine?
