    Perhaps like they just dropped the coolant and then filled it back up, without flushing it ?

    when holden replace the coolant they put 2-3 inch round tables in to help stop corrosion in the radiator, makes the coolant look like a red rusty look which really isnt the case

    buy every thing from holden and do it yourself, that way you know its done right and you learn more about your car.

    Take it back to where you got it done first and see what they have to say.
