We also offer radiator hoses for pre-1975 models, new radiators, radiator fan motors, heater cores, heater fan motors and all other cooling parts. Please inquire for your specific needs. *NOTE: For some reason, Fiat Spiders seem to only "like" the original made in Italy radiator caps. Using a cap of domestic or unknown origin (even though brand new) can often result in mysterious overheating problems, loose of coolant, and other cooling system troubles. Believe it or not, sometimes just replacing the cap on your Spider with the "correct" Italian one cures a problem that has plagued the car for years! |
COOLING SYSTEM PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT
Red Line WaterWetter® Supercoolant is a unique wetting agent for cooling systems which can reduce coolant temperatures by as much as 10°F to 30°F. This liquid product can be used to provide rust and corrosion protection in plain water for racing engines, which provides much better heat transfer properties than glycol-based antifreeze. Or it can be added to any new or used antifreeze to improve the heat transfer of ethylene and propylene glycol systems. Designed for modern aluminum, cast iron, copper, brass, and bronze systems.

Improves heat transfer, reducing operating temperatures as much as 30°F
Reduces cylinder head temperatures
May allow more spark advance for increased torque
Reduces rust, corrosion and electrolysis of all metals
Provides long term corrosion protection
Cleans and lubricates water pump seals
Prevents foaming
Reduces cavitation corrosion
Complexes with hard water to reduce scale
Red Line WaterWetter® is designed to provide improved metal wetting and excellent corrosion inhibition when added to plain water or a glycol coolant. The most poorly maintained system in an automobile is usually the cooling system. Maintenance is quite simple and only required once each year, but most vehicle owners never routinely change the coolant or replenish the corrosion inhibitors which are required for trouble-free operation. Proper cooling system maintenance is very critical for most modern engines which utilize more aluminum. Aluminum has a very high corrosion potential, even higher than zinc, which is very widely used as a sacrificial anode. The only property which enables aluminum to be used in a cooling system is that it will form protective films under the proper conditions which will prevent the uncontrolled corrosive attack of acids or bases. Poor aluminum corrosion inhibition will cause the dissolution of aluminum at the heat rejection surfaces, weakening the cooling system walls and water pump casing and weakening the head gasket mating surfaces. These corrosion products will then form deposits on the lower temperature surfaces such as in radiator tubes which have very poor heat transfer properties, causing a significant reduction in the cooling ability of the entire system. Red Line WaterWetter® will provide the proper corrosion inhibition for all cooling system metals, including aluminum, cast iron, steel, copper, brass, and lead.
