Modern Vespa

I discovered the coolant level to be a little low (the scooter has only 200 miles). Then i saw the dire warnings about using regular coolant. I searched the MV forum and found an excellent thread about this matter, I think around April 07?
Anyways, I diligently went to the vespa dealer and asked about the coolant and was told to use any kind available. Not so!!!
I bought a jar of DEX COOL nitrate free coolant and returned home.
Then I found that the coolant already present in the nearly new scooter is blue in color. The Dex-Cool is yellow. I went ahead and diluted the Dex-Cool 50/50 with distilled water and topped off the reservoir.
I hope i did the right thing?
Does anybody knows if the original coolant in a new vespa is blue?
OR the dealer I bought from filled the radiator with the wrong coolant. (In which case i will have to drain it all and flush it)
Thanks

The scooter arrived from the plant with fluids already added. The dealer's PDI should just be checking to make sure all the fluids are topped off to where they should be.

After just 200 miles... chances are good that it was just filled a little low at the factory, or maybe a bit of air bled out.

Keep an eye on it for the next 2 or 300 and see if it moves. If it doesn't then no worries. IIRC the juice in my GTS was blue when I got it.

You know the difference between the hot and cold levels, right?

My GTs' coolant seems to sit around the low mark.

If I top it up, it will drop back down, but stays there and goes no further. my GTS has 8500km - about 5200 whatever the unmetricated unit is.

When I did top it up, I used straight distilled water/demineralised water.

The coolant in mine is also blue.

From what you have suggested, I would reccomend doing a check to see if they are a compatible mix. May only be dye colours that differ. But one never knows.

There was a post some time ago here on MV by a fellow who knows his antifreeze - I'll go find it and post a link. The short of it is, that Havoline/Texaco DexCool is the identical product made by the same manufacturer as the antifreeze Piaggio uses at the factory. Wish I could find the stuff here. Back in a moment with a link...

EDIT - Here it is: antifreeze
