    120i - 2007 : Coolant capacity

    Hi Gents

    Hope someone can share some info please

    - how many Liters coolant to add to a flushed coolant system...and whats the ratio to the water?

    If not mistaken about 4liters coolant and then about 4litres water : ratio 50/50

    What do you think ?

    I would mix 50/50 then add it in unless you are 100% sure the system is completely drained. Or add water first then coolant, it's better to have more water vs. more coolant after all...
