Antifreeze coolant ripp off
Has anybody noticed how ready mixed coolant is increasingly labelled by all most all manufacturers as antifreeze and only mentions it is a
50% solution in very small letters and proper antifreeze concentrate is getting more difficult to source. this wouldn't be so bad but a 5
litre container of pre-mixed coolant is being sold retail at the price 5 litres of concentrate sold ar a couple of years ago,

Not realy noticed it with a/freeze but I have with screen wash fluid.
I had a phone calls from TPS (VW Trade parts) with "offers" on screen wash at a "special price for 100Lt of screen wash". So I
asked "Where the hell am I supposed to put 20x5lt cans?"
TPS... "Oh thats alright, it comes in case of 4x5lt cans and you dilute it"
Me... "So it's a price for 20lts of screen wash?"
TPS... "No it makes 100lts"...

It's because people will buy it, and most people have no idea how much screen wash or anti freeze costs.
