Corsa 1.4 sport on a V plate, which colour coolant do I need?
Also, I'm removing the aircon as it doesn't work anyway. Does the shorter auxiliary belt just take a shorter route, or is there anything else I need to fit like a different engine mount?

Pink anti freeze
You should get away with just fitting the
Shorter belt
But not 100 % on how it will line up
Try the belt and see how you get on

Is it definitely pink coolant? The stuff that came out the rad had a definite blue tinge?

I use red coolant,
The stuff that was in could have been cheap asda crap the previous owner bought for £1, could also be top shelf £50 a bottle stuff, there's no way of knowing if the previous owner(s) knew what they were doing is my point

Right, engine mount, I had a play this afternoon and I can't see how the shorter belt will fit. The engine mount is in the way. Any ideas?

Needs a new mount from corsa or tigra without aircon and a shorter non aircon aux belt
