I plan on doing a coolant flsuh this weekend. I know its a simple process . But I was just wondering if someone could give me a brief explanation on hwo to do it so Im a little more confident. and no i dont have a haynes manual.

 

O.K.

Take off radiator cap.
Unscrew drain plug((the white screw on the bottom of the radiator))
Let the fluid drain.
Tighten drain plug back up.
Pull upper radiator hose off of the radiator leaving it attached to the engine.
Take garden hose and start pumping water into the radiator.
Continue with the water into the radiator till it flows out of the upper radiator hose.
Reattach all hoses.
Refill Radiator with coolant as per manuf. instructions.
Done!!!

IF I LEFT ANYTHING OUT SOMEONE PLEASE CORRECT ME.

Good luck with it Ryan.

 

The only thing I would add is, don't forget to bleed the system once you've finished the flush

 

Vapor lock FTL! deffinately bleed the system

 

DAMN!!! I knew I forgot something. Always, always. One little thing. LOL Oh well.

 

I cant find the Bleed valve. Anyone know where it is in the B Series usually. I feel like Im blind cause ive done this on D-series plenty of times lol

 

I always just do it the cheap way and sqeeze the lower hose till I dont see anymore bubbles. LOL

Sorry I have a D. I am no help at all.

 

I think its by the t-stat... could be wrong though

 

get some BG flush bottle and poor it in with the water and run the car up to operating temp then drain and fill like normal

 

When I do coolant flushes i also like to unhook a heater hose, two lines approx 1 inch in diameter running into the firewall, and flush water through that as well (in the same manner as you flushed out the radiator), the heater core, afterall, is just a mini-radiator.
