Peugeot 206 1.1 "55" reg coolant

[DocArbathnot]

Hi

Just checking fluids on MIL's car. Coolant a bit low (maybe 1/2 ltr), checked the book and it requires Peugeot coolant and does not require changing.

Do I have to go to the Peugeot dealer or just bung in a bit of blue or red stuff?
(The current fluid is brown and a bit low)

Top it up with water and red. Probably worth doing a change at some point if you intend on keeping the car, it is part of the service schedule (iirc when the cambelt needs doing at 5 years).

Thanks it's what I thought. The car is overdue a service so will do it a little later this year before she sells it. The car has only been doing 1500 mpa and this will reduce to zero once she moves.
