   Hope this is right section ?
   
   Seeing as its getting colder,and im having an engine overhaul starting tommorow i thought i should protect my investment.
   
   Need to buy some antifreeze and despite looking here,in my manual and on google i can find the coolant capacity of a Saxo (MK2 VTR) anywhere ???

   Found some rambling amongst other stuff on the net that says "6 litres".
   
   Sound about right for total coolant capacity ?

   Dont know for sure but as long as you pre mix the antifreeze and water you will know for sure you have the right strengh. 50/50 is fine and yo ushould use it all year not just in winter as it stops corrosion of the aluminium head - may cause HG issues if left long enough

   6ltrs is the full system so put 50% coolant/antifreeze in. try get the red rather than blue coloured.
