- WH Statesman 3.8L
I have a 99 WH Statesman 3.8l, pretty much the same engine as a VT. I'm about to replace the water pump but thought I'd do a coolant flush whilst I'm at it given that I'll lose a lot of coolant removing the water pump.
I've read various ways to do a flush, yes, some may be better methods but I just want an easy job, here is what I plan to do:
Buy 6 Litres of Coolant concentrate and about 20 litres of distilled water.
Remove the thermostat.
Remove the bottom radiator hose, start and let it drain. Reconnect, fill with distilled water, and keep repeating until its all clear, then I'll do one last flush, fill it with 6 litres of concentrate and 6 litres of distilled water.
Will it work? Yes, yes, there are better methods but will my method work?
I'd appreciate your replies.
Thanks
