    just distilled + pt-nuke enough?

    i am out of pentosin g11.. and all the places that i can find that sell it dont open for a week..

    so is it alright to use just distilled and pt-nuke?
    the pentosin from the description is just an anti-corrisive but isnt that mainly when mixing metals?

    also is there any downside to using like 10 drops of pt-nuke instead of the recommened 2-3?

    It's fine to use just distilled and Pt-nuke. Best not to overdue it ... just a few drops like the instructions say should be fine.

    if you aren't mixing metals, then you're fine, but if you are, you definatley need a corrosion inhibitor such as pentosin g11

    why not tho? lol. i think that it would be better to use too much than too little. i just want to know what would happen if i did put too much in..

    What is the difference between G11 and G12 pentosin?
    I use G12, since I have some left over from my car.

    Is the G11 UV active standard, or does petra's add a UV agent to the fluid? All the places i've seen say just regular G11. Want to find out tomorrow because i'll be going to the VW dealer for some stuff for my TDI... while i'm there, i'd like to get a bottle of G11.

    let me know if you find out if it is UV reactive or not. i may want to add some UV later on.
