General Quick question regarding coolant please

[RamesesPNiblik]

Hi,

I've recently purchased a Panda Twin Air and I noticed that the (pink) coolant is running a little low. I thought I would top it up...

Checking the manual, it advises to purchase Tutela Paraflu UP. I looked online for Paraflu UP pink but there's only a couple places that sell it.

Please could someone advise: Do I need to use Paraflu UP specifically to top it up, or can I just go to Halfords and purchase their own coolant?:

According to the label it is pink... so is it the right type for my Panda?

Cheers!

Any pink OAT coolant should be just fine.

Any pink ‘OAT’ coolant will be fine. So long as it’s pink and says OAT (Oganic Acid Technology, I think). Other colours indicate different chemical mixes, and are used by engines with different metals or seals in their design. In an ‘emergency’, just plain water is ok too, so long as it’s only a small amount.

Great! Thanks very much for all of your replies. I'll pop to Halfords this weekend and buy this....
