(Or so ive heard it be called) My Dilemma:
So my car has been on stands 4 ages and I WANT TO GET IF OFF so i can finally drive it again! But i keep on getting held back on things. The latest being the cooling system.
I decided to invest in a new radiator due to a leak and the use of dodgy coolant from the last owner.
So i disconnected the radiator and let the soup pour out, took it out, ordered a new one... but before i can fit it i need to drain the block, and flush the heater matrix...
Problem #1 I cant locate the drain points on the block. Ive seen it mentioned somewhere there is one for each cylinder. Pictures or a good description would help.
Problem #2 EMV doesnt work, hence the heat cant be turned on to open the valve in the Heater unit. What is advised here?? Do i take the EMV out and replace it with the Climate control unit or is there a way to get the coolant out of there without turning the heater on?
There is one on each side of the block. I done a flush on my Celsior and my mothers Soarer by following this :http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/cooling/coolant.html It shows where the drain cocks are located. Hope that helps.
