Just sharing my suggestion:
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.



Totally Agreed...This is to make sure that the coolant is off correct specs and at the same time fresh and not those pre mix by sc which might be mixture of paip water and coolant...smile.gif

Bro,
1. Is this the price if we "walk in and buy" or the charge if we replace at Nasim cos they can tekan on the labor?
2. How much is the ATF at nasim?

Cheers!

Hi guys,

I forgot to change my coolant during my 10k service, by right, to be safe, when should we flush out all the old coolant and replace with new coolant?

thanks.

not really, see the color. Slight greenish is still ok. Nescafe then u have to flush and check.
Don't wait for chances, create them!

Generally, it is recommended to change coolant every 2 years.
