To Flush, or not To Flush?
Hi all,
Just a bit of advice please. I have fitted an inline thermostat mod to my CDTi, as we are now heading to the colder time of the year, I intend to give my car a full coolant change. In all the service history I have with the car I have no evidence of it being changed! I hope it has been changed at some point since 2005!! Anyway, My "normal" thermostat has packed up hence the in hose thermostat being fitted. If I use a radiator flush, do I stand a chance of the old thermostat starting to work again? If so, will this cause problems with having the in hose one fitted as well? Many thanks in advance. Richard |
Richard,
I'd say that unless you have evidence of contamination, don't bother using a flushing product, just drain and renew the antifreeze solution. Using distilled/de-ionised water rather than tap water will stop scale forming. You can pick up 5 litres for about the price of a bottle of lager in a pub. :beer2: Simon |
This 'mod' you've done. Does it make the incar heater blow hotter?

If the old stuff comes out clean, don't flush it.
