Quick answer
The Geely Tugella's 2.0TD turbo petrol engine, rated by Geely UAE at 175 kW (238 HP), produces a lot of heat for its size, and the coolant is what carries it away. Use only the coolant type Geely specifies, chosen by specification rather than colour. Geely UAE does not publish the coolant type, mix, capacity or interval, and ShipMyPart has not verified them, so we confirm the coolant from your VIN.
What this coolant guide can and cannot say
The Tugella's engine is confirmed by Geely UAE as a 238 HP 2.0TD turbo petrol unit. Geely UAE is silent on everything coolant-related, so the type, ratio, quantity and change schedule you need are looked up from your VIN rather than assumed from another model.

Heat soak: the minutes after you park
When a hot turbo engine is switched off, the water pump stops but the metal is still hot, so temperatures under the bonnet climb for a few minutes. After a fast drive on a summer evening, that heat soak is when weak hoses and an old expansion tank are most likely to give way. A short, gentle cool-down drive before parking reduces the peak.
A once-a-month look
Reading the temperature warning correctly
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Reading higher than usual in traffic | Ease off, switch the A/C off briefly, watch it |
| Temperature warning on the cluster | Stop where safe and switch off |
| Steam from under the bonnet | Keep the bonnet shut until it cools; do not open the cap |
Possible causes include a leak, a sticking thermostat, a failing water pump or a blocked radiator. Have it inspected before driving on.
Specification over colour
Coolant colour is a dye and differs between brands. What protects the engine is the inhibitor chemistry, which must suit the metals and seals Geely used. Mixing types can cut that protection or form deposits, so if the system history is unknown, a flush and refill with Geely's specified coolant is safer than topping up.
Which Tugella cooling part to suspect first
| Clue | Usual suspect |
|---|---|
| Drips after parking, sweet smell | Hose joint or the water pump seal |
| Hot only at low speed | Radiator fins clogged or a fan fault |
| Slow to warm, weak heater | Thermostat held open |
| Cracked plastic near the cap | Expansion tank |
Whichever part is replaced, refill with Geely's coolant and bleed out trapped air.

Is it safe to drive with the temperature warning on?
No. Stop safely and switch off, then have the cause found.
Can I mix coolants of different colours?
Avoid it; colour is not a specification. Use the type Geely lists.
