How much coolant ?
Chaps am at work and want to pick up some coolant from Halfords on way home. Cant remember how much fluid a 2.0 Pinto takes...about 6 1/2 litres ?? Any help appreciated

I'd just get a 5 litre tub Nick, this leaves some left over for future topping up.

Mine takes 8.5 litres, so at 50/50 mix a 5 litre will be more than enough for yours Nick.pbar wrote:I seem to remember that a 5 litre tub is sufficient, and leaves some left over for future topping up.

Re: How much coolant ?
Thanks for the info chaps. Much appreciated.
Just picked some up on my way home from work. Got some de-ionised water to mix it with too. Am on the train now trying to carry it all home !
Jason the free pasties are for the cornwall/devon branches only....the london branches are offering free guns instead !!
Cheers all

It's possible to make your own antifreeze.
