Hi all Noticed that our Octavia uses a Red/Pink colour coolent in the Radiator. How often do we need to top this ? Does it dry up often ? What do we top it up with ? Water can ? The user's manual mentions adding water for temp use is ok but remember to bring it back to proper coolent mix asap. But it doesn't say what is the proper coolent mix... If water is no good, does that mean I have to keep a can of pure coolant to top up whenever I detect that coolant level is low ? A friend of mine drives a 2 year old Bora... I noticed that he only need to top up with water. He poured it into a white plastic globe/ball like container on the upper left of the engine bay. I'm such a newbie... but the prev jap cars I drive only need to put good ol cheepo water... Thanks

Hi all once again...sorri to disturb but notice recently that my coolent is leaking....have tried changing the cap, the bottle and even the thermostat housing and done pressure test but unable to locate the leak. saw a lot of gree patches (made from the coolent leak) on the surronding pipes and areas...... any idea where the falut might be and also will the coolent leak spilling on the surrounding areas damage any of my electronic and wires? after fixing the leak will i be able to wash off the green stuff to make the engine bay look clean clean thanks.

I've noticed there are green, blue and pink coolent on the market. Are there any differences in the chemical properties of the coolent or are they the same, just with different pretty colours. I know coolent is basically a mix of anti-corrosion chemicals and ethylene glycol (anti-freeze). So what does the different colours mean? I guess maybe each colour represents different proportions of the anti-corrosives and ethylene glycol mix. What say the resident experts?
