Hydraulics and Cooling

Hello everyone. My first question is about fluid types and levels. What is the brake and steering fluid type for a 2012 1.6 eHdi with the Access Package, and how many liters should it contain? A friend of mine who sells spare parts for cooling recommended replacing the entire cooling hoses and coolant before summer. He said, "I don't know the previous owners, and these vehicles can have overheating issues." What do you think? Would you recommend it?

A friend of mine who sells spare parts for cooling recommended that we completely change the cooling hoses and coolant before the summer begins.

Coolant also varies depending on the antifreeze you use; it should be changed every 2 or 3 years. If there is rust in the cooling system, if the vehicle was previously driven with tap water or drinking water, it would be a good idea to change it. Also, if the hoses appear to be swollen, etc., they should be changed.
