Which Engine Coolant (anti-freeze)?

Featured Replies

Hi Guys

Me again :) needing advice ,,, again.

So,Let's talk Engine coolant and to be more specific,which is needed for the following model:

Ford Focus Lx TDCI 1.8 Diesel Hatch Mk2 2006 55Plate

No idea as this as said in a previous post,is my first Car,don't want to mess it up,Already fixed a few issues with success so would like to keep that Egg Train Rolling.

(Yes Egg Train is my phrase haha,Deal with it :)

No but seriously,would love your opinions on this,thanks in advance guys.

Let's keep the Train Rolling,,,,,



It needs to be an OAT type coolant, usualy a pink or purple colour. can sometimes look a bit orange than pink. ECP were selling 5L and 1L bottles pretty cheap so I would have a look there - cheaper than halfrauds n all that.

I think eurocarparts have a sale on till tomorrow and an extra 10% off with code Extra10

Permanently blanking the EGRV would be a good idea

Permanently blanking the EGRV would be a good idea

How do you mean? haven't a clue what blanking is,,new car owner here :)

Blanking the EGRV is inserting a purpose made steel plate between the EGRV & it's inlet pipe that connects to the exhaust, the purpose of blanking the EGRV is prevent inert spent exhaust gases congealing into carbonised crud that gunks up the EGRV & the inlet manifold, which is an engine killer

Blanking plates are available from e-bay sellers for around £5

It's the cheapest kindest thing you can do for your engine.
