Hello,

Can anyone give us the part number of the official German Water that we are
supposed to use?  Does it come from the river in front of the Wolfsburg
castle?  Is anyone organizing a group buy?  :-/

Just when you thought you learned everything.

Carroll,

Thank you for the clarification.

I must admit that I know not what I speak of when it comes to marine
electrochemistry..and it is certainly very different than my encounters in
the lab version! I defer to your wisdom and experience on that.

Now, VW maintains that the kind of corrosions we observe in our Vanagon (and
other Al VW engines) is not a problem in Europe.  They blame it on our water
or at least hint that it may be because of our water.  Is there any validity
to this?  Can the ionic composition of their water be so different than
ours?
