Yo Cinio!

Can you tell me is this concentrated coolant and needs half this, half water on a fill, or if I just pour it straight in?

Got it off a mechanic in Poland after my radiator blew :pac:

Ah but if any other Polish see it I'll have my answer quicker or maybe people can tell by the shade of red

If you have a smartphone with an optical reader app, it could translate it and save you the bother of typing it into Google Translate

Is Cinio Polish? I know Snaps, who is/was a frequent poster in the Cable & Digital Tv forum, is from Poland, and he may be of assistance to you as well.

Hi Cormie.
It doesn't say clearly on the label, but I'm 99.9% sure it's a ready coolant to pour straight in. Don't mix it with water.
Otherwise it would clearly say on the label that it's a concentrate.


Translation what the label says is:
Coolant of low freezing temperature -35C designed for cooling combustion engines (petrol and diesel) equipped with aluminium, cast iron or mixed type cooling system. It successfully protects cooling system from freezing in the winter and overheating in the summer. Can be mixed with any coolant based on ethylene glycol. It contains anticorrosion and anti-lymescale additions made by BASF
* R22 is poisonous after swallowing
* S2 keep away from children
* S7 keep the container closed
* S24/25 keep away from you skin and eyes.
* S46 in case of swallowing immediately consult the doctor - and show him the label.

CAUTION - SWALLOWING MIGHT BE FATAL
CONTAINS: ETHYLENE GLICOL

Don't really want to break the news, but Snaps is Irish.

Or the Polish man who thought his Irish girlfriend was trying to do away with him...His English wasn't fully up to speed and when he saw the Polish remover in the bathroom cabinet he got very scared indeed!

Thanks everyone and for the translation Cinio

I've attached a snap of the front just incase, but I'm guessing if there's no mixture instructions on the back, it's just a straight pour

Ready to pour

coolant is always pre mixed, anti freeze is concentrated coolant is antifreeze + water

In OP's case though label is in Polish, and it can not be really distinguished by name if it's coolant or antifreeze.
Don't be suggested by "coolant" written on it, as you can't rely on knowledge of English of manufacturers of this product.
F.e. I had no idea that "coolant" can not refer to a concentrate, so they also could have not.

But indeed it is a coolant in OP's case.

cormie

Thanks a lot for all the info folks

Yep I'm Irish living in poland. And like cino says, that coolant along with most coolants here are ready to use (no mixing with water).

Apologies, Snaps, I thought you were Polish when you were in Ballinrobe:o.
