Wingnut Member 573 Member For: 16y 9m 5d Gender: Male Posted 07/07/12 10:48 PM Share Posted 07/07/12 10:48 PM (edited) My car has been using coolant and "milkshaking" for about 20,000ks and its pulling as hard as the day I got it modded! Still turns the tires at 100km/h hahaha My milkshake is visible in the rocker cover though so fairly terminal. I think I might have blown a head gasket when it sent it into limp mode about 2 years ago lol. I assumed these things had a rev limiter? OH WELL!!Only issue is im pumping a couple of bottles into it each week f*cking hates a cold start due to the oil being so rancid so the only real inconvenience is that I have to warm it up in the morning.Im not really trying to kill the poor thing but I guess im not overly fussed about it as when it does go BANG, because I know it will, I have an excuse to throw more money at it!!

I would have demanded to see it and not paid until I did. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80646-coolant-problem-help-appreciated/page/8/#findComment-1264366 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You end up seeing this milkshake in your coolant header tank.Im surprised your motor's still going with that amount of coolant in your oil lol.
