How much Antifreeze/coolant - Nathan1305 - 06-02-2015
So need to do a oil change and radiator flush on the DT how much antifreeze do I need to put in? I think I seen somewhere it takes 6.5L of coolant so is that 3.25L of water and 3.25L of antifreeze?
Edit: just seen an XUD takes 9 litres of coolant! So 4.5L antifreeze 4.5L water?

Ive never gone that strong.
3 litres of longlife red for me, rest with pure water.

Depends what it says on the bottle... Halfords stuff is 50/50 iirc.

RE: How much Antifreeze/coolant - Nathan1305 - 07-02-2015
I got the Triple QX ready mix antifreeze/coolant so I'll do around 3L Coolant and the rest water and see how that goes
RE: How much Antifreeze/coolant - Toms306 - 07-02-2015
If its ready mixed you don't add water to it...
RE: How much Antifreeze/coolant - ConorTRG - 07-02-2015
Coolant is ready mixed, use straight out of the drum.
Antifreeze needs mixed with water.

Got this today to hopefully get the 306 in a better state. So if I don't add water does it mean I have to buy another 5 litre bottle of coolant or will it be okay for a while on 5 litres of coolant
RE: How much Antifreeze/coolant - Seb_Ryan - 07-02-2015
Its ready mixxed so dont add water..
RE: How much Antifreeze/coolant - Toms306 - 07-02-2015
You'll need to buy some more, it won't be ok on 5 litres.
RE: How much Antifreeze/coolant - Nathan1305 - 07-02-2015
Ah that's annoying I'll have to try get some more soon
