How do you know it needs coolant and if so how much? Well coolant is just a posh word for Anti-freeze. Go to any large garage or accessory shop like Halfords and mix it with water to a ratio of about 3 parts water 1 part anti-freeze. You need it in all year round as it keeps your cooling system clean and stops your engine over heating. Most places that sell it will have a chart showing how much every car needs from empty. |

anti-freeze does very little to stop overheating unless you are running 100% anti-freeeze. just take your car and handbook to halfords and ask them. you haven't said yet why you think you need more anti-freeze. |
