Coolant

Unread post by Mjraz25 »

Just purchased my 2016 508 blue allure and it started to show engine overheating then the needle came back to about 80°. Checked the coolant level awas below minimum so used 1ltr and wow it drank it up. How big is the coolant reservoir? As in how many litres of coolant should I buy next 🤔

Hi and welcome

Well if yours is an DW10FC engine the total coolant dry fill is 10 litres from what I could find out.
Not sure how much the resevoir holds but just fill it to between the min & max line with engine cold.
Personally I'd buy 2.5L unmixed G13 coolant and same amount deminineralized water, that way you'll have up to 5L 50/50 to spend.
