FLUIDS
Brake Fluid
Use only AP New Premium Super DOT 4 brake fluid or Castrol Girling Universal DOT 4 brake/clutch fluid. DO NOT use any other type of fluid.
Anti-freeze solutions
The overall anti-freeze concentration should not fall, by volume, below 50% to ensure that the anti-corrosion properties of the coolant are maintained. Anti-freeze concentrations greater than 60% are not recommended as cooling efficiency will be impaired.
Use UNIPART Superplus Anti-freeze and Summer Coolant to protect the cooling system.
The cooling system should be drained, flushed and refilled with the correct amount of anti-freeze solution at the intervals given on the Service Maintenance Check Sheet.
CAUTION: No other 'universal' anti-freeze should be used with UNIPART Superplus Anti-freeze and Summer Coolant.
If UNIPART Superplus Anti-freeze and Summer Coolant is not available, use an ethylene glycol based anti-freeze containing no methanol with non-phosphate corrosion inhibitors which meet specifications BS6580 and BS5117 suitable for use in mixed metal engines. To ensure the protection of the cooling system against corrosion, these anti-freeses must be renewed every 12 months.
After filling with anti-freeze solution, attach a warning label to a prominent position on the vehicle stating the type of anti-freeze contained in the cooling system to ensure that the correct type is used for topping-up.
The recommended quantities of anti-freeze for different degrees of frost protection are:
| Solution | Amount of anti-freeze | Commences freezing | Frozen solid | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50% | Litres | °C | °F | °C | °F |
| 1.4 models | 2.5 | -36 | -33 | -48 | -53 |
| 1.6 models | 2.75 | -36 | -33 | -48 | -53 |
| 2.0 models | 3.5 | -36 | -33 | -48 | -53 |
