Hey all
Can somebody please help me and possibly others by posting the correct procedure on how to flush out and renew coolant on a VT V6 preferably with pictures/diagrams even just pictures off the net with some indications of what/where
I have researched as much information as I can find and still it's unclear to me, I have looked on these forums with conflicting procedures or not the info im after. I really need to know (with visual) what to take off where to put the hose and how to clear the reservoir and engine block
I would prefer not to take out the knock sensors but if absolutely necessary then I will need visuals on where they are etc.
Can I just use tap water ? I know distilled water is required though it's easier/cheaper to use tap water
Things i know: must be cool engine at least 3 hours no use
The air bleed valve, turn 2-3 times (when filling or something)
Have the heater on hot
coolant must be handled with care and disposed of properly
incompatible coolants create corrosion thus must flush thoroughly and try use a compatible coolant if possible
Pour the coolant in then fill with water once flushed, takes a full 12 litre capacity.
