Adding Water Wetter?

I am trying to bring down my water temperature and was told by some people that adding Water Wetter to my radiator would help with the temperature.

Just wondering if anyone here have done it. Does it help and how much water wetter to anti-freeze to water should I add?

I have a base C6 A6.

I am posting it here in the C5 section along with C6 section hoping I would get some response. Thanks

Thanks but the link does not work.

I did do a search on water wetter however it gave me a lot of links which most of them are just water. Maybe I am using the search incorrectly?

1 bottle in the coolant reservoir is all you need.
It should lower operating temperatures 5-10 degrees.
I add it in all my vehicles and have done so in my 2 Vettes for the past 3 years.

They are surfactants that change the surface energy of the liquid making for more complete contact with the surface of the cooling system. the more intimate the contact the better the heat transfer.

How well is your radiator shroud sealing air and forcing it into the radiator? You want all the air coming from the front and below to go through the radiator not past it along the sides, top or bottom.

Make sure your radiator is clean form dirt, grass and junk. The one or two bottles of water wetter does a great job

I checked it after I did the search and now it doesn't work...maybe because it changes with each additional related topic like this one.
Use the same keywords in C5 Tech and you'll find all of the same prior discussions that I did.
Or, go to the REDLINE website and find everything you need to know about WATER WETTER...
