Hi there,

These so called magic fixes in a bottle are an absolute waste of time and money, they can do more harm than good, they can block radiators and coolant transfer ports, i feel that you are still suffering the effects of what ever is the original problem and possible the effects of this muck in the cooling system, you will need to get this repaired correctly.
