I just watched my mechanic flush my '91 syncro coolant, he went to a lot of work!!!!   I
think that MAYBE  the simplest way would be to remove the thermostat (close up the
housing) and then remove a few return hoses and put a water hose into the reservoir
and let the engine run till the water coming out is clean. Turn off the engine &  let the
system drain, put hoses back on and put in 8 or 9 litres of coolant then top it up with
water as you bleed the system.  I hope someone can tell me why this will NOT work.
I've been wrong before.  Malcolm
