Title: What make/type of coolant?

I know the answer lies in this site somewhere, but I\'m still on dial-up for the moment, so it\'s taking me ages to trawl through.

What coolant type should I be using? I was using a blue coolant but when I got the car back from WGT, they are using a green coolant. I remember reading somewhere on here that there is a certain additive that should be avoided due to the fact it deteriorates the seals etc (was it a red coolant?).

Can anyone advise pls??

Thanks
