I believe Texaco and Prestone both have phosphate-free type of coolant
available in auto parts store.  I knew our BMW dealer use the Texaco's one
in their shop.   But I still use the VW's though....

Subject:  Coolant Alternatives & carpeting replacement

Hi all
At the risk of beating a very dead horse, I would like to ask for
coolant alternatives.

 Who else makes phosphate-free coolant, other than the $$$/gal dealer
stuff.  I have called many autoparts stores, and none of them have any
clue.

Also - any recommendations on replacing the carpet in the front of my
van?  It is tearing in several places, and peeling up in the others...
Anyone know any vendors / prices / quality?

please reply directly to me, as I have signed off the list.... between
this list & the scirocco list, I gave my mail server a heart attack a
few weekends in a row...
