Citroen Xantia 2.0 16v coolant

Unread post by GLITCHD »

Hi!
What is the correct coolant for this engine? When i search up on the car i get multiple different coolants. The colour of the coolant is no longer possible to see as the car has had mostly universal coolant put in it.

The correct stuff will be ordinary old-school ethylene glycol.

In case it's had some other brew in there in the past, give it a really good flush. A good idea anyway if things are so mucky you can't see the colour of the old.

Colour is not a good guide to type but do be aware that different types should never be mixed. Doing so can result in serious problems.
