Coolant

During operation the sy stem is pressurized.
The tempera ture may therefore rise briefly
to over 100 °C .
The g ly col-based c oolant provides
excellent corrosion protection for the
heating a nd cooling systems as well as
anti-freez e protection d ow n to -28 °C . It
rem ains in the cooling sy stem throughout
the y ear and need not be changed.
Certain anti-freezes can lea d to engine
dam age. We therefore recommend the use
of anti-freez es that have been approved
by Vaux hall.

Frost and c or rosi on p rotection
Before the sta rt of the cold weather season,
have the coolant checked for correct
concentration using a calibrated
hydrometer. We recom mend that you
consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer.
The anti-freeze content must guarantee
frost protection down to approx. -28 °C . An
insufficient concentration will reduce frost
and corrosion protection. Add anti-freez e if
nec essary .
If c oolant loss is topped up with wa ter,
have anti-freeze c oncentration checked
and a dd anti-freeze if necessary.
