Guess I'll pipe in with a personal experience. I experienced overheating in
an 86 Audi 4000 I bought (used in 98) and upon investigation noticed only
water in the radiator. After draining and refilling with a 50/50 mix I had
no more overheating. I believe one of the reasons antifreeze helps is
because it raises the boiling point of the mixture. Adding water wetter
helps even more.
Just MO, YMMV.
