It's a but late for a reply on this but as a matter of interest Ford simply don't recognise the N0552146 VX00 specified in the handbook. They do however know about wss-m2c204-a2.. which is the green stuff. They sold me a litre for just under Quote

They do however know about wss-m2c204-a2.. which is the green stuff. They sold me a litre for just under £12 which isn''t bad considering that the Halfords 'equivalent' is £15 (use at own risk).My level was pretty low on the dipstick - well below the cold range. I made the mistake of pouring in a large wineglass of the stuff which brought it way above the hot mark. Didnt know if that would cause a problem but to be safe spent another 15 mniutes syringing it back out with a plastic tube and hypodermic (courtesy of my wife who's a nurse just in case you thought I was an addict). The lesson is that you need very little fluid to top up. This litre will last a very long time!Hi thereIs that a misprint or have you wrote that number down wrong I have (NO52146 VX00) in my book, and has already been mentioned if the levels gone down you have a leak somewhere.
