Antifreeze in Walsall, West Midlands

Antifreeze is mixed with water to make coolant. It stops the coolant freezing in cold weather, and it helps stop corrosion inside the cooling system. Tell us your registration on 07961 404768 and we will check which antifreeze fits your car.

What antifreeze does

Antifreeze is the concentrate that is mixed with water to make coolant. The mixture does two jobs: it stops the coolant freezing in cold weather, and it helps stop corrosion inside the cooling system. Without it, the coolant can freeze and crack the engine, or corrode the parts it runs through.

Antifreeze comes in different types, and they are not always compatible with each other. The type a car needs is set by its maker, and mixing types can cause problems in the cooling system. The type your car needs depends on its make and model.

How to find the right antifreeze

Antifreeze is matched to the car, and to the type the maker specifies for its cooling system. The type is usually in the car's handbook, and the colour of the coolant in the car can hint at it — but colour alone is not enough, because different types can share a colour. Tell us the registration when you call about your antifreeze. Without it, the make, model, year and engine will do.

If your engine is running hot, the coolant is one of the things to look at — but so is the water pump. The pump page below explains what the pump does and how to check fitment.

Related fluids

Antifreeze is one of two fluids in the fluids system. Engine oil is the other — it keeps the moving parts inside the engine lubricated and has to be the right grade for the car.
