Hi there is already liquid in mine and wanting to add antifreeze coolant am i ok to just add this to the existing liquid? Ive got ready to use all makes shd models. Many thanks

[@cjs2920]

Can you tell me what to do when the radiator fan is not working. One mechanic said Engine computers It is a problem. Can you post a video of it being tested?

[@rgonzl9458]

Do you know if the Clio 182 is the same process ?

[@alevelsos]

Can I also just add more if the coolant is at minimum instead of draining?

[@HaynesManuals]

Yes, sure

[@alevelsos]

This is a very stupid question but does the coolant make the Air Conditioning work better or is use to keep the engine cool.

[@HaynesManuals]

It just cools the engine. It's entirely separate from the AC.

👍👍👍

[@HaynesManuals]

Thanks!

Surely that Renault antifreeze is READY MIXED, ie not to be diluted... 🤔. Whereas your video says to mix it 50/50 with water.

[@HaynesManuals]

You can buy premixed or concentrated anti-freeze

[@nicam49]

@@HaynesManuals on the contrary, if you're using the Renault antifreeze as demonstrated in your video, it only comes ready-mixed.

[@HaynesManuals]

OK, thanks for letting us know

Not true,just changed my coolant. Renault Glaceol Type D comes in diluted and contrentaded versions, it even say water mix ratio on back.

@@_randolph2200 where did you buy yours from? I got mine Renault main dealer (UK) no choice but ready mixed.... and what's the part number of the concentrated version?
