How to Top Up the Antifreeze in a Ford Fiesta

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Antifreeze coolant

To top up the antifreeze in a Ford Fiesta, first open the bonnet. The coolant reservoir is located on the left side of the engine bay (when facing the front of the vehicle), in a semi-transparent container that shows the colour of the liquid, which can be blue, red, or yellow. You can mix yellow with red, but do not mix blue with the other colours, as they are chemically different. There is a tutorial available that explains this in detail. Unscrew the cap and pour in the corresponding coloured liquid until the level reaches the "max" mark.
