So are Renault discontinuing Type D, but maybe Febi are actually producing it and will continue to sell it under their own name?

That was before it went NLR.
As soon as it went NLR I phoned my parts manager and he sorted me out.

I guess it’s down to each individual dealership if they want to sell cheap to move on or not.
I got a new set of Renault 197 front discs for under £100 including the Vat and they are still sitting boxes from Aug 2022

I’m getting it even cheaper now.
That’s me up to 20 bottles all with EXP 2031 apart from one at 2028.

@Martin_172 if you need a bottle I’m not 100 miles away 👍🏻

Not used them since all the guys left.

The original parts manager there left to work over the road and another guy became parts manager and moved.

A lot of the others left and there is only one guy I sort of know now that gives me some discount.

Having the same issue here RPD sent me RX TYPE D the other week and didn’t realise just how much I’d get through bleeding the system. By time I ordered more and paid postage it’s the same as my local dealer but they only have RX TYPE E now and from what I can make of it all and seem to be the same outcome as what you lot have come too that Renault say they can be mixed. So I will go ahead and see what happens and keep it updated

The thing that concerns me is. Type E has an expiry date of only 3 years. Whereas Type D is 8 years.
Surely the Type E will degrade much faster after going through 100s of heating and cooling cycles?

Do they not put the Coshh sheets on the bottle any more that will tell you if there is a difference beyond the colour.

Antifreeze concentration test should be done with every service to give you an idea on concentration and change it every 3-5 years so wouldnt be concerned with that

Renault released an engine in Mexico and needs a coolant that wont damage its water pump - this they have named (new) Type D
The product for all normal European engines is now Type E.
It gets a new Blue colour but the Renault notification they've sent to dealers says New Type E mixable with the Old Type D.
I'm going to guess that EU regulations have changed and they have to put a different blend of chemicals in but I've never had the free time to compare the bottles.
Theres no need to ship Type E back as its perfectly fine for your engine and theres no need to flush the old coolant completely out your coolant system. You will just get Green coolant when it mixes :D
