Had a leak in the head gasket which was spraying water out the did on to the turbo. Not leaking inside the engine which is good. Unable to find a mechanic who will replace a head gasket as all mechanics don’t seem to want to do the work or don’t have the knowledge. Was recommended to try this from a friend and put it in the car this morning. Dropped my daughter at school and drove to work left idling for 30. While it was idling there was steam coming out from the bonnet then all of a sudden it stopped. Left to cool does for about 5hrs then drove the car home for lunch and back to work and nothing no steam and no leaking 😁👍Just saved me ££££s for a £40 bottle of magic juice. Not going to lie I was sceptical that it would work. Would recommend if you have a knackered head gasket and can’t find someone to repair it or can’t afford to have it replaced.

Didn't work
Had a head gasket failure on our 2013 Peugeot 2008, gave it to my friend who's a mechanic ( and yes it went straight into the pipe and not the expansion tank ) didn't work at all had to buy K seal to fix it, waste of money

Brilliant stuff!
Used this in my little Peugeot 206 1.4 which has had cylinder head gasket and expansion tank bubbling issues for the last 5 years, a common issue with this engine. I have tried other pour in solutions over this time with little or no difference plus a cylinder head gasket change.The car was getting worse, struggling to start and running on three cylinders etc and recently only just made it home with smoke pouring from the exhaust.Found this Steel Seal on Amazon and this was last chance saloon for the car.I drained the original pink antifreeze which Steel Seal does not work with apparently! I gave the cooling system a good flush out with a garden hose.I then filled the expansion tank with blue antifreeze mixture and added the Steel Seal before the expansion tank was filled to max level.I then run the engine for half hour on idle with smoke still pouring from the exhaust but the engine was running better.I left the car overnight and in the morning started the car.To my absolute amazement the car started sweet as a nut, a little bit of smoke initially but that then cleared as the engine warmed.The car now runs better than ever! I cannot believe the difference.Well worth the money!

Partially worked.
Long story short, this didn't fully work. But it did help a fair amount.Received a bottle for free thanks to Steel Seals guarantee so will try again and hope for better results.Would still recommend trying this, cheaper than a new head gasket.

It can work
I was faced with an expensive repair bill with a blown head gasket on an Audi A1. I was quoted £3,500 and that was before any issues with a cracked head etc. My only option was to try Steel Seal. The first time I drained the coolant, flushed with water, added Steel Seal and ran the car up to operating temperature with the fan on full heat and idled for 30 minutes. Next morning when I tried it I still had white smoke from the exhaust and bubbling in the coolant reservoir. I ordered another bottle but this time removed the coil and spark plug from cylinder 3 (picked this up on a fault code using an OBDII scanner). Added the Steel Seal and got the car up to operating temperature. It sounded awful without the plug in but that is what the instructions said to do. Again, I let the car idle for 30 minutes, switched off and put the coil pack and plug back in and allowed to cool overnight. To my amazement when I drove it the next day, all the symptoms had gone, no coolant loss and no white smoke. I don't know how long it will last for but it has saved me a lot of money. You may be unlucky when you try it but it is not a rip off, if you follow the instructions and the leak is not too big, it should work.

“Edit” this don’t work for me
EDIT, unfortunately this didn’t work for me. 2 weeks later the problem came back.Ok, you read many reviews and you contemplate whether or not to go ahead with it. My car had allot of back pressure which went allot of the coolant was overflowing out of the vent hole. I’d lose coolant and because of the low coolant I’d get overheating. The oil and water was fine with no mixing. Before using this product I did my investigations and found that there was a crack between the cylinder and coolant side of the head gasket which was pushing the pressure of the cylinder/s into the coolant system causing it to overflow. I also carried out a test with those combustion leak test blue bottles and that came up with that I had combustion in my coolant. So I tried this and so far, it’s worked. The coolant holds its pressure and no more overflowing. I then tested the coolant with the leak test and that was negative with no combustion on my coolant. I’m going to monitor this every month as part of maintenance and see how long it can go. I may be lucky because my leak may have been small. But so far so good. Would I recommend it? Yes I would. You have to follow the instructions and be patient. It took me 3 days to do everything properly by ensuring the old coolant was drained and the filled with water only. Then drained again because the old coolant cam still remain in the engine. You have to flush it around 5 times. Then use the product with water only. Drive around and check how things are. You will need to replace your thermostat. My one was knackered. In order to ensure the liquid is effective it’s best that the liquid circulation happens first in the engine. That means the thermostat has to be closed which it is when the engine is cold. That gives the liquid to properly get through any cracks and seal properly. The when the thermostat opens it goes through the entire system. The risk here is that the thermostat may get damaged, mine did, but for £30 I changed it with peace of mind. Once problem is fixed you can drain the water/steelseal mix and then introduce the coolant of your cars choice.
