im also planning to put new coolant in and do a flush, cus i dont no the last time my car has had actual coolant in there other than plain water. he water is all brown and rusty like. how much does these power flushes cost and is it worth getting it done that way?

cheers

yeah i heard around $100- $150 buks but i will be getting some quotations during the week, i have been recommended tectanloy xtra cool gold, tho i just want a nice cooling system,I haven't powerflushed mine as yet so its probably not a bad idea

... For you calais i would be using Tectaloy V LPUS meets the HN 2043GMH Factory Specification For v6 commodores that require specific coolant in which i used in my calais vn but 100 plus or the like should do the job has to be better than nothing

check out this link mate for your vn http://www.tectaloy.com/products.htm
