   Hi all - New female here in need of assistance!!!
   
   The coolant warning light came on on the panel of my T reg 1.1,saxo east coast today. It looks like the coolant needs topping up.
   
   Can one of you kind people please help me with what coolant/antifreeze I need to buy. Halfords website has confused me!!!
   
   Thanks kirsty

   if you are just topping up you need to know what coolant is already in there really but it shouldn't make much difference really just get the same colour

   It's normally the red/pinky colour that goes into saxo engines, or thats what GSF say anyway, I've put it in both the gf's vtr and in my vts with no problems.
