    Default Puting new radiator in my vs?

    I have paid for a new radiator for my vs,my Ellery`s manual tells me how to take out and put in the new radiator.It doesnt tell me how to put the new coolant in,and how to bleed it.I was told to use tectaloy xtra gold cooling system treatment(coolant mix)...it does 15 litres.I also dont know what coolant was used be before.So can anyone please give me some advice on how to put the new coolant in,And if its good coolant im using...Cheers HK-VS.

    I wouldn't worry about which coolant was used before as you will be replacing it all - use the Tectaloy and you cannot go wrong. I've attached a "how to" which will guide you thru.
    Any problems and post back. Good Luck.
    Change the engine coolant.(vn,vp,vr?,vs?)
    ps...best manual is Gregorys in my opinion - Ellerys is a bit "all over the place".

    Its probably easier to use a concentrate cos you'll never get all the water out of the block. .. but i have not read hako's link yet.

    just make sure all the old coolant is flushed out before you mix new stuff in coz it can react to the old stuff and speed up internal corrosion if they are different
