only trade off is that it might overheat a little every once and a while but nothing that you really need to worry about.

oh and if you’re looking to supercharge it over the winter, look at this documentary:

They did the part switcheroo on my brother a couple times, too. It gets pretty annoying having to ship items back…

Yeah, they are making me wait until the incorrect item is shipped back before they re-ship the right one, talk about bad customer service.

It’s easy, just ask them. You put a sticker on the box with one part number, and then you throw a completely different part from a completely different vehicle into that box. It’s like magic.

I just remembered to tell you this Baumbauer, but there’s a DOHC Swift in a junkyard in central, NY. I don’t know if this information provides any assistance to you in anyway, and it probably could’ve been PM’d. Thanks

Drained out the distilled water and mocool out of my car and put 50/50 mix antifreeze in it. Now that my cooling issues are solved i can stay with regular coolant instead of draining it out every summer and useing the other.
