vauxhall antifreeze
Posted: Tue Oct 12, 2010 8:09 pm
I got a 1.0L corsa-B. The original antifreeze was Vauxhall Blue color.
Vaux dealer just changed it for new Vauxhall pink antifreeze.
I checked it when I got home, its now actually a dirty light green color now after they "changed" it.
I phoned them, they said they flushed it as much as they could, but some blue was left in and the light green is from
mixing what was left of the old blue with the new pink stuff.
I phoned a different dealer for a 2nd opinion and they said the two colors must NOT be mixed, a full
flush is ended and it should end up pink in the car not light green which is from mixing the pink and blue.
Does anyone know anything about this? Is it safe to run it with this light green mix of pink/blue or will it damage the engine?
It's the corrosion inhibitors I'm worried about.
