Good point.

Halfords do either blue or red. Mines green

I've had mine changed a couple of weeks ago by a Subaru specialist and he has filled it with green fluid.

When I fitted my rad I was recomended the Shell antifreeze coolant, you can get from the petroL stations. HTH

Don't think it really matters as long as you don't mix types and use distilled water (de-ionised) to further reduce the chances of corrosion/scale build up. I use the Halfords Advanced which is bright orange.

The norm for jap cars is green and halfords do sell it as it made by comma. look out for the comma xstream label and you'll be fine. When I do my coolant, this is what I'll be using

Forget colours, they are a distraction, it's just a dye put in by the maker to make it look nice

Just ensure that you keep to TWO POINTS:
1. always use an antifreeze with corrosion inhibitor and that is suitable for an alloy engine.

2. NEVER mix types. If you can't get the same stuff, drain it and start again

Would that be why they are different colours as then you know what ones not to mix? Otherwise there would be no need to have different colours cos it would be all the same stuff.

It was designed to have green antifreeze so that will be what goes in when it gets replaced

Each to their own though, aslong as the system is properly flushed out then you can put in what you like

I went and got Comma Xstream G48 (Green) and distilled Water

Cheers for the Recomends guys

Read what you have written: that would require all manufacturers of antifreeze to stick to some sort of colour coding....and that ain't gonna happen.

I know of at least two pink ones for a start. And THREE blue ones

Just forget the COLOUR and go with type, and/or manufacturer.

Exactly

you can buy anti-freeze that you can mix with any colour if you get stuck.. it comes in a bottle and its blue keep an eye out
