Prestone flush tee in the one of the heater hoses underneath--much easier
and already there for the next time.

Subject:    Re: Flush & Fill & Fan Switch questions

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
