Sei: Paraflu or any antifreeze?

Is Paraflu essential or does any antifreeze do for the coolant?

Thank you

any quality antifreeze at the correct dilution

so 50:50

antifreeze & distilled water you mean. This will be the same as Paraflu eqvilent (spelling)?

thanks

no need for distilled water in the cooling system and dilute as per the pack instructions. you will have no problems

cool, that's answered my question. How do you drain the old coolant out the bottle? in order to put the new stuff in?

Thanks again

remove the lowest coolant pipe.
best to get yourself a haynes manual though

could you just quickly explain

thanks

well what can i say.disconnect the lowest coolant hose to let the coolant run out.

is that the one with the butterfly clip that comes out of the wing area?

one over the gearbox/engine join

sorry, really don't know what you're about. I thought it was that hose that comes out the wing area? surely

It's OK for you back home Custard to say this as we have nice soft water in Scoltand that is easily good enough for the coolant system, but down here in South England, especially when I lived in Bourenmouth, the water is so hard that I wouldn't use it as I've seen some real clogged up coolant systems in the few years i've lived down here with limescale!

I use a big bottle of cheap drinking water from ASDA 5L for about £2.50 job done, all the cars I have done this to have run cooler and heated up quicker after a good heavy duty coolant systems flush and change with new anti-freeze.

ah well its our secret plan to gunk up all off the southerners insides

sorry i missed your reply.basically you need to release the lowest pipe so the coolant comes out. i assume your looking at the expansion tank which is too high and will only drain a litre at best

If you look under the bumper you will see the radiator on the drivers side. The hose you want to pull of is the one coming off the bottom of the radiator - it might be difficult to shift, so try twisting it while pulling very hard!
