Coolant spec?
Hi all. I'm planning on carrying out a, probably long overdue, coolant flush/change.
There are loads of threads and mentions on here but I can't find one that mentions the actual spec. Is it OAT, IAT, something else with a T etc?? The handbook very helpfully tells me to contact the dealer. I'm probably just going to get some off that ebay guy that provided me with all my belt stuff but I'd still like to know the spec/type ta.

After thoroughly flushing, just use 4 litres Genuine Volvo concentrated coolant example here and top up with distilled or deionised water.
It's ethylene glycol based and lasts for years.

As above don't let anyone sell you the ready mixed , no dealer in UK should be selling that anyway ... just someone ripping you off .

Interesting, Glasgow, Motherwell and Ayr, state you can only get the pre-mixed stuff (Volvo branded 4ltrs.)

Every dealer can sell the concentrate and you can even buy it on Amazon.
