Coolant types for modern Hdi PSA engine, confused :(

[Mr Whippy]

Just been to Peugeot for some coolant.

Got some bog standard blue Ethelyne Glycol for my 306 Hdi but sure my car needs some long life orange stuff (OAT?) like what is in there already...

Needs doing, but don't want to put this in at £3.80 per litre (which is apparently steep) if it's not the long life stuff for the service spec requirements...

All these new techs confuse me. Does anyone know if long life comes in blue and I've got good stuff or not? The bottle just says Ethelyne glycol on it... so I'm guessing not.

Can anyone recommend a good long life (sure it's 5yrs/120k interval) coolant that meets the specs I'll need, because Peugeot look to have sold me the wrong stuff (was told it should be red coloured but Peugeot just said they used this on all their cars!? )... doh!

Vauxhall dealers do what your after(5 year, pink),very good price too,i buy it in bulk regular.

I'm a little confused.

I've heard blue is 2 year, green is three, pink/red is five and then orange is a lifetime type.

So confusing as dealers (Pug) seem to know square root of bugger all. Mine *should* have been done at 5yrs under previous owner, but not sure. It's orange coloured now, cloudy ish, so not sure what it was when new, or if it is new... hence wanting to do it, but trying to find right type

Will just go get the longest life highest spec stuff I can find I guess
