Anyone experience shortage of radiator coolant?
Discovered today while showering my lion that the coolant is slightly below the minimum level.
Wondering which coolant is recommended and adviseable for our pug 308???

almost time for service? Don't mix coolant cos incompatibility may be an issue. Suggest you add water only until service time to tell them ... anyhow if your radiator is not leaking then the amount of coolant may still be same .. just that more concentrated since water dried off ... so you add water .. almost same concentration.

Actually the coolant level will drop to min level after running the car for sometime. Just slowly open the cap to release the pressure and the coolant level will be back to normal. I thought i had to top up but once i opened the cap the level was back to normal. And pls DO NOT overfill...!!

Best is not to add any other solution other than the premixed coolant.
You can get 5L from Nasim/Peugeot @ RM65.70
When you send for Service, remember to ask the mechanic not to top up with water; Ask them to top up with the Coolant liquid or try to bring your bottle over.
If your coolant is dirty (like Nescafe?), might suggest to do a FULL COMPLETE Flush. For Auto transmission, the 206 will need more than 5L, so means, 5L + 2L bottle; and the labour charge is around RM60 for 206.
If they only change 2L (see the bill), then means it's not a complete flush.
