I know there have been some discussions before, I searched and read, but I still have questions.

I want to use Water Wetter in my 08' v10 S6 to help reduce some of the hotspots in my engine that we suspect is contributing to the retarded timing.

So here goes, Redline says that even in the summer to use 85% water, 15% antifreeze, and Water Wetter on a street car, not 100% water + WW.

Then I read that our cars use G12, and somewhere I read that G12 is incompatible with WW. So what's the verdict?

Will 15% G12, Water, and WW work?

thanks

The most heat conductive mixture is a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water

...components of water-wetter already anyway.
Maybe you should try not running the air conditioner to keep engine temps down? (press ECON)

lubrication, corrosion, boiling point, and freezing point.

I was talking with Mark the other day and NASA cars that do wheel to wheel racing are not allowed to use antifreeze.<ul><li><a href="http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/ethylene-glycol-d_146.html">Link</a></li></ul>

I never run aircon for this reason + HP loss, my wife hates me because of it ;-)

Anyone running 100% water or 80% water + G12?

Pulling timing....

of course we ran lower thermostats and programmed our own chips to make it all work together. Most guys have no idea how important a cool-running motor is to a low ET.

Heck, if you are that concerned about a loss of acceleration, its amazing you even let your wife ride with you in the car. Can she take her purse or does that have to stay at home?
