I've flushed the system of my 405 a few weeks ago because i had an air lock, and i'm now pretty sure its gone so i can put some coolant back into the system.
Only trouble is i've no idea as to the ratio or how much coolant to put in, and have no gauges to check either!
Can anyone give me a general rule of thumb?
Its a 92 405 straight 1.9D.
Cheers!

Of the top of my head the coolant capacity on a 405 is about 8.3 litres.
A 50 / 50 mix is the ratio to aim for.
50 % antifreeze & the other 50 % water or you can buy it already pre mixed.
You can get a little tester for a couple of £ from somewhere like Halfrauds to test the ratio of your coolant, Just count the floating balls.
