Could you propose me some good alternative instead of VOLVO coolant? It's hardly available here.
Thx!

If you want to do the job once and forget about it, Volvo coolant is worth trying to hold of and costs the same as others.
Try www.skandix.de.
They do mail order.

Any coolant that meets spec is perfect.

Bless , Old chesh thinks volvo have a chemical plant at the back of the factory making special volvo anti freeze .....

Now the facts there are only two companies in Europe producing etherlene glycol anti freeze, This product is produced by the company who supply volvo and it's exactly the same spec ...

sorry to pop your balloon ches but facts are facts ....

And don't believe all that old boloxs about volvo anti freeze lasts for ever , it's inhibitors don't defy the laws of physics they get depleted exactly the same as any chemical inhibitor become depleted , no matter what volvo tell you ,it's a bit like don't worry sir our volvo gearbox oil never ever needs changing its got magical properties

Nope, never said that and the rest of what you've written isn't based on anything I've said either.
Why rant about gearbox fluid? No one mentioned it.
Buying Volvo coolant simply saves you having to do any homework on specs, will see you right for 10+ years and....... It's cheaper than your Comma stuff.
Why pay more?

Have I missed something here??? I sense a bit of friction. 😾

Thx for everybody!

Actually, I was thinking buying simple ethylene-glycol coolant by Mannol (economic price) or from Castrol (much expensive).
My experience: coolant must be changed after 3-5 years.

Could you link me some VOLVO coolant spec, please?
