Coolant
During operation, the system is
pressurized. The temperature ma y
therefore rise to over 100 °C.
The anti-freez e provid es excellent
corrosion protection for the cooling and
heating system, as well a s freeze
protection down to -28 ° C.
Certain types of anti-freez e ca n lead to
engine d amage. We therefore strongly
recommend the use of anti-freeze that has
been approved by Vauxhall.
Anti-freeze and c orrosion protection
Before the start of the cold weather season,
ha ve the coolant checked for correc t
concentration by a workshop. The a mount
of anti-freeze must provide protection
down to approx. –28 °C. If the anti-freeze
concentration is too low, this reduces
protection from freez ing and corrosion.
Top up anti-freeze if necessary.
If coolant loss is top ped up with
demineralised water, have anti-freez e
concentration checked and m ore anti-
freeze add ed as necessary.
Coolant level
Hard ly any losses occur since the c ooling
system is sea led a nd it is thus rarely
nec essary to top up the coola nt.
The coolant level in the expansion ta nk
should be b etween the MIN and MAX
ma rk s w hen the system is cold .

Warning
Anti-freeze is a danger to health: it m ust
therefore be k ept in the original conta iner
and out of the reach of children.
