They said they only sell blue stuff which they only sell in 1 litre bottles which is £7 a bottle. They said I would need to fully drain and flush the current stuff out then replace with a 50/50 mix of the blue with regular water. They said I would need 4 bottles - £28.

So first question - Is mine correct to have pink? I thought it was pink from the factory and supposedly for life?

Second question what exactly is it I need to ask for? Should they be able to order it in? Can I order it from anywhere else?

Thanks
Firstly volvo have never used pink , ever ..

secondly 3 litres will be enough for the 4 cylinder ....

thirdly a 4 litre bottle is £17 +VAT

fourthly they should stock this but if not they get 3 deliveries a day from volvo !
They did get the mixing right though .

Try "rufus" on here for a discount there are details listed somewhere on here ..
