4 Tec winterization question

[eddie_picazo]

New to the forum in need of some help from you gents.

Got a 2007 GTI (the very basic one 130Hp) and I have found great help as far as winterizing my ski. What I really don't understand is the antifreeze part where people recommend putting antifreeze through flushing port on the back, and other people saying that this is a Closed Loop System where there is antifreeze already in the engine, so just fogg engine and add Stabil.

Does my ski have intercooler?

I thank you fellas in advance for putting up with my ignorance, I have never owned a jet ski and want to be cautious since we had our first low 38F in Dallas yesterday and do not want to take any chances.

You have no IC. I believe you're referring to the hose connection that is located next to your pump...when adding anti-freeze to the exhaust system.

Personally...I just fire the ski up on the trailer (for 30secs or so)a coupla times before winter sets in. That'll clear most if not all the water in the exhaust. You ain't getting any colder than I am and I keep mine in an unheated garage.
