Only use Volvo Coolant VCS when topping up or changing coolant. To avoid damage to engine and cooling system, different
coolants or corrosion protection must not be mixed.
When using concentrated Volvo Coolant VCS and clean water, the mixture should contain 40–60% concentrated coolant and
60–40% clean water. The amount of concentrated coolant must never be less than 40% of the total mixture, see table below.

Freeze protection down to Mixed-in amount of concentrated coolant

-25 °C (-13 °F) 40%
-35 °C (-31 °F) 50%
-46 °C (-51 °F) 60%

The concentrated coolant must not be mixed with water that contains a high degree of lime (hard water), salt or metals.

The clean water for the cooling system must also meet the following requirements:

Description Value
Total number of solid particles < 340 ppm
Total hardness < 9.5° dH
Chloride < 40 ppm
Sulphate < 100 ppm
pH value 5.5-9
Silica < 20 mg SiO2/litre
Iron < 0.10 mg Fe/litre
Manganese < 0.05 mg Mn/litre
Electrical conductivity < 500 µS/cm
Organic material, COD-Mn < 15 mg/litre

If there is any doubt about the water quality, use ready-mixed Volvo Coolant VCS, which contains 40% concentrated coolant. Do
not mix with any other ready-mixed coolants since this may result in engine damage.
