Hi all,
I've inherited a Kia Pride, and I need to sort out anti-freeze for the winter. I know very little about cars. The reservoir that feeds the radiator is nearly empty, so I was going to mix some antifreeze with water and put it in there. But someone who knows about as much as me suggested that I needed to put the antifreeze in the radiator directly, and putting it in the reservoir wasn't good enough. Are they right?
Furthermore, the instructions on the bottle of antifreeze suggest it should be mixed with de-ionized water. This surprised me - I know that the battery has be topped up wth de-ionized water, but I thought tap water was fine for the radiator.
Thnaks!
