Sorry if this question has been asked to death, I couldn't find a definitive answer.

Having taken on my new old Doblo (2003 1.9D) MPV I am planning my service schedule and going to give it a full work over so that I know it's all good.

I have had a look through eLearn I see it suggests to use Panaflu. No problem... but which one.

Also happy to use Tripple QX from ECP if Red is suitable? I already I have a lot of that in my garage going unused.

I can't tell what type is in there (it's not currently parked at home) at the moment but happy to give it a full flush out and replace what's in there in any case.

Hi.
As it's hard to know what has been done in the past I'd recommend a full drain, flush with water and refill with red (organic acid, OAT) anti-freeze distilled water mix.

Hi Robert

That is what I was leaning towards: drain, fresh water flush, drain, refill. It had its timing belt and water pump replaced in 2014, so presume fresh coolant was put in then.... but would rather know what's it there and start a new maintenance schedule.

I have a load of concentrate Red Triple QX left over from the previous car, and heaps of distilled water (I service marine batteries).

Many Thanks.
