Only an OAT (Organic Acid Technology) Coolant and Antifreeze is used in the C3. It is generally identified by its bright red/pink colour.

How do you top up engine coolant?

If your coolant level is too low (below or near the lower mark), top it up using a 50/50 mixture of water and antifreeze (for normal driving conditions), or pour pre-mixed antifreeze straight into the reservoir. You can use clean tap water in an emergency, but antifreeze should be added as soon as possible.

How do you check engine coolant?

To check coolant levels, you don’t have to open the radiator cap; check the markings on the side of the reservoir. If the coolant reaches the “full” mark, you’re okay. If it doesn’t, remove the radiator cap and add the coolant or a 50/50 mix of coolant and water.

Can I use water instead of coolant?

Water by itself can’t do the job of antifreeze due to its lack of boiling and freezing point range and its inability to protect your vehicle’s engine. Plus, it doesn’t absorb heat as effectively. In the case of an absolute emergency, you can use water in your coolant rank.

Can you put water in coolant?

Can you top your coolant up with water? Coolant should only be topped up with water in case of an emergency when the coolant liquid level is lower than it should be. While topping up with water will help you get safely to the nearest garage and identify any issues, it shouldn’t be relied upon.

Will a car overheat with just water?

It can also result in other forms of severe engine damage. If you were to just use water rather than the coolant mixture, high temperatures inside the motor would easily boil that water and cause it to evaporate, meaning you’d quickly have no coolant at all and the engine would easily overheat.

What water do you mix with coolant?

distilled water
Always mix it with distilled water. And the way you do that is before you pour anything back into the cooling system or put it in at any time, you mix coolant and distilled water fifty-fifty, then you put the mix in.

How do I fill my car radiator with water?

2. Look into the radiator fill hole to see how high the liquid level is inside.
3. Add water and coolant, or pre-diluted coolant, as necessary.
4. Replace the cap by screwing it on clockwise.

Is it OK to drive with low coolant?

To ensure the engine stays at an optimal operating temperature, your car relies on a fluid called antifreeze, or engine coolant. Driving with low coolant could let your engine get too hot, which usually spells trouble for your engine, your vehicle, and your journey!
