I may  hate myself in the morning for starting this thread.

I used to be able  to buy phosphate-free anti-freeze from Canadian Tire. They
no longer sell  it. I actually talked to a guy at the parts counter who was a
VW guy and  knew exactly what I was talking about --- and he raved on about
how he  didn't know what to do either. What are you other Canucks doing for
Vanagon  anti-freeze??

Doug, don't hate yourself let that up to us !   Your guy at Canadian Tire
doesn't have a clue.  Prestone Longlife and  Haveoline both available at Canadian
Tire are phosphate free.  NAPA's  Supreme Extended Longlife is also Phosphate
free.  Then you have can  have HEPU  available from shops like me who work on
German cars and VW  brand from VW dealers.
