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
