Antifreeze

[envers]

Hello all, a bit of help required as I have a feeling I have been a bit of an idiot.

Imagine, for a moment, that you notice the coolant level is a little low so you pop some antifreeze in. Quite brilliantly however you put two "glugs" of the pink coloured stuff in before you notice you have picked up the wrong one....

Is this going to cause a problem? I presume that the usual antifreeze used in these engines (serviced always by Fernies) is the green sort.

Is it a case of having to flush the system?

Thanks for your help - feeling pretty stupid and meant to be going on a bit of a road trip tomorrow with her.

Agreed, I wouldn't worry - you're only topping up the coolant, and the 2 varieties (AFAIK pink is more modern "longlife" type) will be designed to mix with no ill effects. Enjoy your drive tomorrow

i prefer the blue stuff myself, im not sure if that amount will cause grief but tis a piece of cake to flush your system

Neal is right, Longlife should mix
