Anyone have any experience with > thems stopping VW Camper head-gasket leaks? If so which type? I've seen metallic aluminum > (dry) types, liquid types, etc. Since the type of anti-freeze you use is so important to these aluminum head engines, I'd think the wrong type of stop-leak could also damage the Regular prestone Anti-freeze is fine in a Vanagon! It's the water that is mixed with it that causes the problem! Here in the US most Water supplies are not a problem at all.
