Coolant replacement for GT6

[RussGT6]

Hello all. What coolant do you use for MkIII GT6. Halfords online checker says they don’t have any that is for GT6 which can’t be right. I know to use the blue coolant but can any of you post a picture of the product you would use so I don’t get the wrong stuff. Thanks everyone.

Ordinary blue stuff. My radiator leaks slightly so there's no point using anything expensive.

I get blue stuff from Euro Car parts, it may well be that Halfords don't have anything suitable for our cars.

This is what I use in my Vitesse

Ordinary blue is fine, plenty of it about and available from stores that know more about cars than Halfords. (Tesco, probably) You can also try the Prestone stuff from them, too.

Comma Coldmaster (as above) is a safe bet.

+1 for the Comma Range, use their Oils and various Greases as well as the Anti freeze. On all my "moderns". The exception being the Sprinter, which has to have a specialised Full Synthetic oil, (low ash?). ACEA C2, API SN, ACEA C3. And costs and Arm and Leg. £135 the last time.

Both my sixes are on Evans waterless coolant.

Is that related to the 'Waterless urinals' in Macdonalds etc? I was tempted to ask what happens to the urine.

Sorry to introduce thread drift with an attempt at humour. Half term looking after G-kids is the cause.

Ever try one of their sugar-free drinks?

Mc D’s. Bragg they recycle their frying oil into the lorry fuel. That would be fun following the smell of burgers……..

I know from the experiments we did in 2008 that the exhaust smells of what was cooked in the oil. Not always pleasant.

Tesco often has Prestone antifreeze on offer at a really good price.

Before replacing the antifreeze, I flushed the system, twice, with soda crystals. Prior to, my radiator had a dark, opaque, fluid and I used to watch the temp gauge rise towards the panic zone when stuck in queuing traffic.

Since replacing it, the coolant has remained a nice transparent yellow and I have significantly less fear of overheating.
