Prestone Flush and Fill Help
 
I just got this presont flush and fill kit to back flush my radioator and coolant. im trying to figure out which hose im supposed to connect the t to for the garden hose to connect too.
I have a 02 Honda Civic, Auto Tranny.
Has anyone used this before? could someone maybe take a picture for me and post it. so i have a visual of where it goes?

Thanks for you help.

Also should i use the flush formula from prestone when i do it? some say it can cause leaks.

Here are some pics of my engine. can you figure out which hose it is?

I installed one on another car that I had. It was ok but it seemed like a lot of trouble to install. I would just flush the radiator without installing the tee. Just drain your radiator and put some clean water and start your car an let it run until the thermostat opens. Then repeat until it comes out clean. The problem with the radiator flush is that it is corrosive. If you have any weak parts in your coolant system it will find them and create a leak. If I remeber right the tee hooks up into one of the heater hoses.

Of course that is just my opinion.

Gotcha. Yea im very hesitant on the flush. dont want to cause any problems. Just want my car to run really good. But i really want to do the back flush. i think i know what hose it is. but am not positive.

just do a tuneup if u want ur car to run really good.. a pcv valve made a 99% change for the better in my car.. it runs great now. check urs.. pull yours out and shake it.. if you dont hear anything jingling around in there, then u need it replaced.. their only like 2 bucks
