Coolant

[Guest pugvan]

Hi all can anybody tell me how much coolant a 1.4 HDI 16 valve C3 2005 takes,

I have had a serch of the forum but cant find any info,

My local car shop tells me his book says to use the red antifreeze ( 5 year } does that sound rite to you guys ? but the book didnt say how much coolant it holds

so i dont know how much to buy,

also where's the best drain point to get as much of the old stuff out as pos.

 

thanks.

I believe the capacity of your system is 5.6 ltrs and they usually reckon to use a 50/50 mix. These days it's doubtful that your radiator has a drain plug so you'll have to remove the bottom hose. Also there may be a drain on the back of the engine.

5.6 litres is the value in Haynes. Citroen use a type of anti freeze that does not normally need replacing so if you are not using the same stuff I would give it a good flush to remove traces of the old before using the new and then do replacements as required for the new type eg every 2 years.
