What coolant to use

[Funkyboy]

Hi All,

Got low coolant message today. What is correct coolant to use to top up on E250 14 plate?
Realise I will have to find the leak but in meantime I need to top up. Header tank still has some in.
Thanks

Fuel filter housing is notorious for leaking.

as long as you only need a small amount of coolant, then just water will be OK to put the warning message/light out. Obviously you'll need to sort the leak out sooner rather than later.

If it turns out to be this is it an expensive repair?

About £30 for the housing.
