A friend of mine in the Motor Trade (in the U.K) tells me that a lot of Citroen owners use Mercedes Branded coolant in their cars. He advises me that this brand contains superior rust inhibitors. Has any members of the forum heard this, or used this brand. (He has no connection to the brand)

Merc branded coolant may well be better than standard type , but you will pay for the Merc name. The thing to look for is low or non silicate content coolant. I use Honda coolant , very high quality and almost certainly cheaper than Merc , I believe Toyota have a similar product.

I have heard this in reference to SAABs but not Citroens.

I was using HAlford but then I was loosing it so quickly rust was unlikely to build up. Not sure if halfords stuff is no good or not.

There used to be a sticky about anti-freeze. Not sure why it isn't one any more.
