A minor question I know much how much anti freeze should I put in my Xantia 1.8i. Thanks.

50% water and 50% antifreeze.

Capacity is about 7 litres if memory serves me.

I always mix antifreeze and water 50/50 in a 2 litre jug to refill the system. I never pour neat antifreeze into the system. Doing it this way, I know I'm putting the right ratio in.

Bleed the system very carefully to ensure all trapped air is out.

A 50/50 mix is best - even the people who recon radiators advise this.
