Proof that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing? or is the guy just a tit-head?
Very funny though.

Not really linked but a long time ago(10y+) there was a researcher at Manchester uni(I think) that worked on a water based combined cooling/lubrication system for automotive engines. Just for some pub. he used coca cola as the bulk liquid. It was sod all to do with my ex employers business so I could not keep up todate on that one. The oil companies probably did their best to stamp that kind of thing out.

I you ever see someone putting coca cola in their vw......................

Not a VW, but I saw Coke added to a gearbox at Le Mans about 15 years ago. Can't remember which team it was???
kept them going to the end though! :D

It would be to a clutch - Coke (I mean the cola) can get oil off a slipping clutch.

And, if you're Andy Dawson, it can be used as brake fluid.
