Hi Chibong,
I just brewed up green tea the other day
for my wasserboxer when I changed the coolant.
(you know, tea contains a lot of tannin).
I dilute the volkswagen antifreeze 50/50
with brewed green tea instead of water.
I prefer the green tea to the English Breakfast tea,
because it doesn't discolor the coolant.
But I guess English Breakfast tea would be ok too.
I use about a couple of tea bags per gallon of water.
Then run through a coffee filter to filter out the
small solids.
Sounds like a joke, but I actually do that.
I don't know if it helps the heads though.
Of course, try at your own risk.
I don't think VW recommends this.
