Im having a slight problem with getting hot on my car, this will be addressed over the winter with a bigger rad but going to try water wetter to get me to this drag day smile. The car cant quite hold the temp back creeps up to 90 then 95 after about stationary for half hour - 40 mins.

For best results it says to use water only with the water wetter, it has the corrosion properties in the water wetter according to the bottle.

Does anyone run WW with just water just for the summer??

Thanks

Neal

Just try upping the revs a bit you may just be underdriving the water pump so it is the pumping flow rather than heat exchange problem.

In previous discussions of WW ISTR that folks generally thought seals rather than corrosion was the drawback if used only with water. Minimal synth antifreeze with WW has been what I've used for years, but TBH I think the WW is beneficial in terms of bleeding and since I've made alternative solutions to that I don't think I'd use it in the future.
