I'm wondering if there is a specific coolant I need to get for it, or if a universal one could be used? I have a bottle of universal antifreeze/coolant but I thought it was best to check before using.
Thanks.

Check to make sure the coolant expansion tank isn't pressurising.
I had all the problems with the EGR cooler, manifold re-call. Anyway in the end I had the low coolant problem when going round bends. I checked the tank and it was pressurised. Left the cap off and could see the bubbles.
I suspected head gasket. So took it to Volvo where they diagnosed it as a cracked cylinder liner.
Then said it needs a new engine at a cost of £9500.
This was a 2014 D4 V60 £0 road tax one, with only 110000 miles on the clock
I say was, as now its in the scrap yard.
Spent loads of money on it and even paid Volvo £500 to tell me it was scrap
My advice would be, get rid of your D4 4 cylinder VAE engine car.
