I dont think theres much in there but there is a slight green/blue tint to the water.
I have only had the car since feb and the car dealer i got it from had the belt done and i think that they had the rad off and not used any coolant
The renault coolant that i have is green in colour and is glycol rx type d.

the colour doesnt matter so much as the properties of it, cant remember now what it was but i have got blue in mine but it met the regs of alloy engines,as long as it states alloy engines etc should be o.k
