Engine coolant
Can you help settle an argument. A mate of mine thinks that modern cooling systems should not have water but coolant (??) because water corrodes the inside of he engine. I'm reasonably knowledegable in this area and I'm sure you have water + antifreeze, the combination known as coolant, up to 50/50. I dont think corrosion occurs because there is no oxygen in the cooling system (other than in the water molecules!). Can someone clear his up, thanks.

2. Partial answer but near enough : )
3. Right
4. You use de-ionised water in a battery .. no need in cooling system .. where tyhere are far more additives and metal contaminents than you would have a hope in adding with tap-water!
Someone could have used the words 'corrosion inhibitors' in addition to 'anti-freeze'.
