200TDi What coolant/antifreeze???

Simple question for someone to answer i hope -

Pink or Blue?

Thanks

either ,200s have run on blue for 20 years with no problems so cant be too bad

ok thanks, its there no advantage using the pink stuff then?

it is better spec ,but you wouldnt notice any difference ,when stripping engines you can see corrosion issues from using just water but not with those using anti freeze blue or pink as is latterly used

Thanks for your replies, bought the pink one as it was the same price

Pink is long life............ dont mix them!

I just bought the pink coz I preferred the colour to the blue

ahaha not quite the reason, it was infact that it says 5year protection rather than 2year with the blue - thats my reasoning and im sticking to it

I wont mix it, going to do a complete flush before adding the light shade of red antifreeze

Hi Guys,
Is this realy true you can use either red or blue on a 200tdi,
what about the difference between OAT's AND IAT's, (Organic or Inorganic Acid Tech)

I know some red have OAT and some dont, and the same with Green or Blue, but is it safe to use any?

And yes I have searched which is how I came to this thread.

Cheers
Steve
