A bit of a no brainer post new engine the colour of my coolant is a very pale pink im pretty sure it was more radiant pre new engine.

Is there a quick way of testing it to make sure ita right for the coming winter.

Or back to the dealer to do it properly? I assume i shouldnt be charged.

You can get special pipettes with different colour balls in them which you can stick into the coolant and suck a bit of it up with.

It measures the strength of the coolant. I pinch my dad's when I need to check.

Does anyone whats coolant spec that should be used?
