jus wondering if someone can help me with a step by step guide to a basic coolant change. My car overheated for the first time ever last night, running to hot and then straight back down to cool, i topped it up with about 2 L of water, and then it was at the right level. i dont want to leave that much water in it howver, today i went out and purchased 5L of tectaloy 90 plus, pre mixed at 33%,
Been told to, drop bottom radiator hose, let all coolant drain, then take off tophose and put garden hose in and clean out the system,put all hoses back on. start the engine, and pour coolant in the radiator cap and turn the heater on, allow to flow all through and then open the bleeder on the thermostat housing, leting air out. and correct to right level. Is that right? any other tips?
