Default Coolant Bottle

Hi everyone, in the coolant bottle do i just put anti-freeze coolant or a mix of that and water?

Also need a new coolant temp switch can anyone reccomend where to get one?

Cheers.

Do mean expansion tank?
If so mixture of coolant/water.

cheam motors are a big supplier of Subaru parts or any local subaru specialist should stock them.

Ah the overflow you can stick the water/coolant mixture in there but i just used to put it in the expansion tank.

Is the car using a lot of water then?

That 'tank' should be empty as it's just an overflow
