Hi Guys

Got A 1.4 8v an i emptied the coolant out the system due too replacing the top hose so i bought one from Vauxhall themselves cost me £15.12 and now the hose is fitted i bought coolant concentrate ( 1 litre )

So can anyone tell me the right mixture for the car as i don't wanna put either too much or too less coolant in thanks guys

you can never have too much anti freeze, just put it all in if your worried, and then top up the rest with water to the water level on the header tank. the mixtures should be on the side of the anti freeze bottle anyway.

ones just pure anti freeze which is stronger, and the other is already mixed with water.
