Coolant -composition -guarantee
Since aluminium is used in the engines, active corrosion
protection is necessary
in the coolant to help prevent corro
sion damage.
Use genuine
Volvo coolant, type C (blue-green), diluted
with clean water in proportions of 50/50. This mixture helps
to prevent corrosion and frost damage .
• Never top-up the cooling system with water alone. Use
genuine
Volvo coolant diluted with clean water in propor
tions of 50/50 .
•
The coolant should be changed every 25,000 miles
(40,000
km) since the corrosion -protective additives in
the coolant lose their effect in time.
• Clean cooling system with solvent (P/N 1161328-8

filling new coolant.
