1.4 160 coolant capacity

Post by lordoftheriffs »

Hello, as the title says, does anyone know how many litres of coolant the twin charger has? I am thinking of doing a coolant flush this year and want to know how many 1.5 litre g13 bottles I have to buy.

Well since nobody seems to know or answer my question, I asked another guy who answered: 2.25 litres of g13 and 3.35 litres of water for a 40-60 mix or 2.8 litres of water and coolant for 50-50

Take the bottom radiator hose off and remove coolant cap. It will flow out with gravity.

No.... Just drain it and fill up with the correct mixture of G13.
