Hey guys looked around forum but cannot find anything to specific for myself.

I have a grande punto tjet sporting 2009.

In my manual it states to use Paraflu Up.

My questions are:

1) I no Paraflu comes in different colours . Can anyone tell me what colour Paraflu Up is specifically to ensure I know it is correct colour already in my car.

2) Is there Any equivalent to Paraflu up. As I am looking around on ebay and shop 4 parts as they seem to be only places that store it - and I have never used them and you know when you just want to buy from a.more known retailer

3) Just read about this waterless coolant? Has anyone had any experience with this. And what's thoughts?
 
Hi Emmerson,

each car manufacturer does recommend this or that for various lubes and liquids in their systems.
I doubt a single part is designed to be compatible with a specific lube or liquid only, perhaps in rockets or nuclear plants.
Therefore I would say go for what you find, concentrate to dilute or ready to use, just be sure to flush and rince if you don't know what is currently inside since organic and inorganic fluids CANNOT be mixed !
Have a look here, it's interesting;;;

Thanks for that bernie. Quick one. In my manual it say 6 litres for my car paraflu up with 50/50 water. I am assuming then that meaning is 3 litres of paraflu and 3 litres of water?
 
Hi Emmerson,

you're right, that's 6 liters in total, BTW, Paraflu up is the redish, Paraflu 11 is blueish and they are not miscible (mixable ?) due to their different technology...

BRs, Bernie
