Antifreeze type to use -

[everson38]

Hey guys.

My first ever post in here so apologies if breaking any rules.

I have a 2006 1.6 petrol megane mk2. I believe I have a pretty major antifreeze leak due to a couple things which I'm looking at.

But does anyone know what Antifreeze I am meant to use. From OEM to also aftermarket alternatives available as my local renualt is fairly far so need to consider this. I am unsure of colour as my overflow tank is empty so need to know if anyone kows exactly.

Thanks again

Any help appreciated.

Hi,
any antifreeze will be ok, Halfords etc ready mixed or 50/50
Bob.
ps make sure it's fixed first.

Hey Bobby

Thanks for getting back to me, it is appreciated.

Are you sure any can be used as i am worried about say buying from halfords antifreeze but what is still left in the engine block, im not sure if its OEM
or something else and ive heard you not meant to mix up different types?

just want to be sure.


thanks

I believe it has to be RED anti freeze...
