What cooling fluid does a Peugeot use?

Peugeot recommends using a specific coolant for its vehicles, called PSA COOL1. PSA COOL1 is a long-life coolant that provides excellent corrosion protection and a high boiling point. It is free of silicates and phosphates, which can damage the cooling system.

PSA COOL1 is typically available in two colours, blue and red/pink. The blue coolant is for standard applications, while the red/pink coolant is designed for high-performance engines.

It is important to note that you should never mix different types of coolant. If you need to top up your coolant, always use the same type of coolant that is already in the system.

You can find PSA COOL1 at most auto parts stores. It is usually sold in 1-litre or 5-litre containers.

Here are some additional tips for maintaining your Peugeot's cooling system:

- Flush the coolant every 2 years or 30,000 miles. This will help to remove any contaminants and prevent corrosion.

- Check the coolant level regularly. The coolant level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the coolant reservoir.

- Never add water to the coolant. Water can cause corrosion and damage the cooling system.
