As the winter is coming I'm wanting it for the window rubbers to prevent freezing, the Rocco has frameless window doors so if they get frozen you can't get in LOL

Any car can freeze up if its cold enough, age has nothing to do with it, the golf was nearly impossible to get in one or two days last year, I used gummy pflege too but it was just too cold, this VW stuff has a real low freezing point,on a side point  it was developed for NASA apparently

Have you got a part number for that and how long does that small bottle normally last?

It will last quite a while as a small bit goes a long way

Not at all, it got so cold a few nights last year i couldnt get in the ED30 as the rubber had frozen up, so im taking precautions with the R, especially as its glass and no frame

Still not cheap, but have you tried G 052 172 A2 - the same stuff, but 100ml at £35ish?

Pass.

Can you not ask the stealer or TPS to order them both in.  Then you could tell by weight if the larger one is full of air!  Anyway, think there is a legal requirement for them to actually have the said volume inside the tin or bottle - usually a lower-case e mark.
