I can only tell you what officially is used by Citroen:

Freecor DSCFluid ready for use
5LT container, part: 1637756480
PSA Standard: B71 1111

Remember there are different versions, but this is the ready to use part number - like this:

Thanks.
Do you know the capacity of the cooling system? Just wondering how much I need to buy. Im doing the timing belt and water pump also the thermostat is being changed, so I thought a flush would be in order.

The quantity isn't specified I'm afraid, but ensure you de-gas it properly.

The procedure is the same as for this engine here, your vehicle is not Euro 6, so follow the relevant part for non-Euro 6 engines on the degassing part.
