Clio coolant type

Unread post by UserError »

Whilst investigating The Other Problem, I noticed that the coolant was low. The owners handbook is no use whatsoever as to the type & I have yet to get a Haynes. I have some which I bought for my dear departed ZX - Comma Xstream Green (Glysantin) is this suitable? Subsequent research shows that renault Glaceol Type D should be used but I can't find what this is. Is it special/unique?

Cheers, Jonathan

BTW coolant appears to be coming out at flywheel end of engine, under loads of plastic. Will investigate further but the pessimist in me thinks it will be a head gasket, unless there's external gubbins waiting to be discovered...

Comma antifreeze

In case anyone else needs to know.
It appears that the Comma XStream Green antifreeze is not suitable for the Clio.
