Drain the flush product and water: After having your engine on for 10—15 minutes, turn it off and wait for the engine to cool.

I must say if the seller had used Royalmail as stated in the description postage I'm certain I would have received it. Flushing the radiator performs a series of valuable functions that ensure the cooling system will continue to perform its vital function in the engine. Cleaning out the old coolant and blasting away at the system with water from the garden hose paves the way for new, uncontaminated coolant to do its job.

Is there a guide or a video showing me which hose I need to disconnect and the steps I need to take to flush it with water before refilling the tank with coolant? I too wouldn't want to bet my engines on a plastic fitting but conceptually the ability to connect running water to flush the system versus the current method of draining fluid, filling with water, running, draining, wash-rinse-repeat until the system is clean is a better solution. The engine should be cooled down and the coolant drained before cleaning the radiator, engine block and, if possible, the heat exchanger, one after the other.

The manufacturer's guide that comes with your car should give you recommended coolant change intervals, which will tell you how often to do a radiator flush for your specific model. Place the drain pan or bucket beneath the plug and open the drain, allowing the coolant to drain into the pan, removing. Flushing the radiator this way is fast and inexpensive, and using the garden hose allows for the process to continue without having to stop after each individual flush. But, the longer you leave old antifreeze in your engine block, the more likely it is to create engine scale.In addition, drivers only benefit from the 100,000-mile guarantee for MEYLE water pumps if the cooling system is flushed before installation. NB: You should label this container stating what it is and take it to your nearest recycle centre where they will be able to dispose of it properly for you. Many newer cars have the cap on the coolant reservoir instead of the radiator itself, but, on certain cars, there may be no radiator cap at all. It can be difficult knowing what the best way to flush a car radiator is, with a lot of different advice out there to follow.
