Thanks - that model is just over £300 + VAT from Wurth, but maybe less with a 'new customer' discount. So, maybe cheaper than Autel.

Does your Wurth gadget require a separate subscription payment for the software? As far as I can see, it communicates to a PC over Bluetooth

Mine was an older one that came with the dvd upto cars about 2014, later versions are online subscription only I believe


Sure when I was looking at the new full price new, probably over 5 years ago it was well over a grand


It's in direct competition with Delphi DS150E and at the time more expensive

There's

For the uninitiated, I think we should make clear what we are on about with coolant changes. Flushing the system with water leaves some weak mixture trapped in the engine. The capacity is 4.4 litres, so add at least 2.2 litres of concentrate and top up with distilled water. This will give you at least a 50% mix. I personally use a full 2.5 litre bottle of concentrate, with water to top up. After that, use the correct mixture for top ups.

You "could" use premixed coolant but the water left over from flushing the system will dilute your nice new stuff. IMO concentrate is the better bet.
