Hi all.
My car is a 97 mk4 fiesta, and it currently has blue coolant in it.
I went to halfords to get some so I can change the coolant and they sold me the red stuff, saying that, that is the colour coolant my car should have. Is this right, or do I have to get blue coolant?

the 2 different coolants shouldn't be mixed as they can sludge up inside the engine
unfortunately, they can be either pink or blue so there is no telling what you've got in yours
if you are going to totally drain and refill the system then it's not an issue, just mix everything up in a bucket before you pour it into the system to make sure you have the right ratio
