Coolant Capacity

[Perry]

Anyone know the capacity of the 182 FF coolant system?

I've got a 1 litre bottle of Fuchs Eskimo lying around and as I've no idea when mine was last changed I was wondering how much more I'd have to add to it if I do a change soon.

total capacity is apparently 6.6L, but you'll not get that much out of it unless you flush the block and the heater matrix

Cheers, also while I'm asking - what percentage of anti-freeze should I use?

 

[Henry]

not sure; i've used the pre-mixed Renault Type D coolant (which is green)

you can apparently create coagulation problems if you mix different types of coolant. i'd flush the entire system thoroughly if i were using a different coolant type, and follow the concentration recommendation that comes with it (usually 50:50)

Fair enough, so I need another two litres of the same stuff.
