850 Coolant 850

All coolant eventually needs to be changed....the service schedule does state to test the strength of the antifreeze, but antifreeze also contains corrosion inhibitors so renewal every few years is recommended.
The thermostats in 850s are a bit fickle. If your temp gauge now stays in the lowest part of the dial and only goes up to normal in heavy traffic, then your thermostat may need replacing. I believe a new 90degC version is used here in the UK.
