Post subject:  Coolant needed?

Hello,

After a summer of trouble free motoring following the new waterpump and belt change courtesy of Jim I am very happy with my 944.

However, my love of all things Stuttgart has meant Ive just bought a 1971 Merc 250 CE to compliment it.

She has just done 160 miles trouble free trip in one day, but I am keen to know what type of coolant she will use. Does anyone know, please, how to check coolant colour? Or what coolant this beast should have?

thanks,

Matt

The VW/Audi pink stuff is very good gear for alloy engines, not too expensive, solid proper Merc by the sound of it, though i am a Munich man....check signature !

Not sure older cars should run long life unless the manufacturer has OK'd it. Have a look ata Merc forum Matt they should give you a guide.
