Quick Coolant question...

[Azza]

Hi all,

I'm about to embark on a bit of a lengthy drive over the coming week, and last time i checked, my coolant level seemed to be quite low, although i could see some in the tank.

I'm guessing that Volvo's own coolant is the stuff i should be putting in, how much should i be expecting to pay for it ?

I'm planning on popping into my local dealer and getting them to top it up...I shouldn't need to flush the whole lot out and replace it should i ?

Thanks,

Azza

Not much - ie under a tenner a litre concentrate.

50-50 mix to top up

Ask for the colour coolant you already have - assuming that it's still Volvo coolant - easy job to do yourself, even flushing the system.
