Changing my coolant - any tips
#34
Ok done it.
A few notes - the on line pdf manual says that the total amount of coolant is 1.95 and the reservoir has a o.61 capacity = 1.34 in the rad an other bits
I think that the reservoir capacity must be the total volume as I put in 250ml from empty to the max line which would mean ther is an extra 360ml of space - but looking at the tank I dont feel there is not that space left.
I had 2ltrs of ready mixed coolant and put 250 in the res and I have 450 left over in the bottle which means I put in 1.3ltr in the rad filler neck which gives a total system capacity of 1,550 ml - now add that 360ml that the pdf says the res holds extra over the 250 I put in then you get 1,910ml which leaves an extra 85ml for system areas that draining dosent drain.
So the upshot is I have 450ml left over from 2ltr after fill the res to the max line is that right.
A thing I did was to put the drain plug in at only hand tight during the radflush so (in my mind ) to keep some crush-ability left in the washer for the proper fill.
Here is some fazer pissing photos inspired by redhunter.
OH and by the way that 2 year life blue stuff has been in about 10years
And the max fill line pink new stuff with the extra space
