Do yourself a favor and honestly determine if the car uses anti-freeze. The amount it uses can be small but should be steady. The whitle is NOT normal. Don't let anyone sell you that bill of goods.

The hesitation can be the vehicle trying to run on a mixture of water and gas. They don't like it. Is there a small but noticeable loss of power in the vehicle?
