What sort of antifreeze for a 1998 1.3 Fiesta?

Nov 30, 2007 2 Replies

Hello -



My 1998 Petrol Fiesta (1.3 Endura) needs new antifreeze. The current coolant is rust-brown in colour. Anyone know what kind it should have?



It was last changed by a Ford main dealer about 3 years ago, and I'd like to make sure that the new stuff is compatible with any remnants of the old stuff. I understand that Ford now use an acid-based antifreeze but is my car so old that it likely to have been filled with conventional glycol at the last service?



Thanks.


I doubt it. My 99 Ka was on the orange / pinky coloured stuff from new.

As my early '99 Focus has had.

BTW, the change interval for the orange coolant is ten years.
