Leadership Team Shortshift Posted April 11, 2023 Leadership Team Share Posted April 11, 2023 Can anyone tell me the volume of coolant needed to refresh/refill a Duratec car with heater?ThanksJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leigh Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 James, my Caterham handbook quotes 5.1L for Cooling system with heater. When flushing my cooling system and re-freshing coolant that seems about right but haven't measured accurately. I'm never sure I have drained the system fully and always seem to need a small top-up once engine has been run-up and fluid has circulated for a few minutes.

Leadership Team Shortshift Posted April 11, 2023 Author Leadership Team Share Posted April 11, 2023 Thanks Tony. I should have thought of looking in the manual!Seeing as I have a 5l bottle of X30 (I'm sticking with pink; none of this flavour-of-the-month blue stuff for me...) then your answer appeals on a number of levels.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlastairA Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Hi James - I used around 6.5 Ltr in my recent 420r build. I found that the expansion bottle need topping up after running the engine a couple of times.Alastair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
