Coolant color

[Legend@wheels]

Its full drain or atleast close to it..(4.5-5)
I always thought the color matter ,but anyway its the genuine with type d spec so i guess bo worries

the colours usually/used to point to the type of coolant - red = oat (iirc organic additive technology) and blue/green is usually either propolene glycol/silicate type stuff...

but its not always like that now - if in doubt don't mix and flush out and put in the new coolant - its best to have it in then nothing at all!

Ill full drain( 5 ltrs) i just worried because of the color but now i see spec is important color doesnt mean any serious thing
Change colors is ok as long as not mixing ,thx !!!

Good luck on the coolant change and flush, absolute ball ache as there is no coolant drain point. I pulled off the radiator return pipe off.

I would want to fluch it if it were me. I recently did it on my S40. I drianed and refilled with distilled water multiple times until the water I drained out was clean. I then filled it back up with Volvo coolant.

I thinkit took 4 refils to get the coolant to run clear, but it was well worth it to know it's now full of perfectly clean coolant.
