Hi folks,
I've been trying to figure out a way to do a flush w/out a garage space
of my own or access to a garden hose for water. I've come up with this, and
wanted to get some opinions:
- drain coolant as completely as possible
- replace with straight distilled water, do the normal run & bleed routine
till completely filled. Let sit for a few hours, maybe over night.
- Drain water
- replace questionable hoses, water pump, thermostat
- re-fill with coolant with correct mix, bleed.
Now, I know straight water is a bad idea. I'm thinking on the short term it
could be effective.
Thoughts?
