Hi Chibong, I just brewed up green tea the other day for my wasserboxer when I changed the coolant. (you know, tea contains a lot of tannin). I dilute the volkswagen antifreeze 50/50 with brewed green tea instead of water. I prefer the green tea to the English Breakfast tea, because it doesn't discolor the coolant. But I guess English Breakfast tea would be ok too. I use about a couple of tea bags per gallon of water. Then run through a coffee filter to filter out the small solids. Sounds like a joke, but I actually do that. I don't know if it helps the heads though. Of course, try at your own risk. I don't think VW recommends this.
