Isn't it that you only need to fill in a couple of litres of coolant and just fill the rest with water?

Well, that's what the guy said in the Garage for my Ford Puma atleast...

You can dilute antifreeze as per its manufacturers recommendations, however coolant is already diluted and should be used neat.
