cheers guys, will pop down halfrauds and pick up a new thermostat tomorrow (might as well replace it with the few heating issues im having anyways) and will give the coolant a good flush, along with the rest of the service :thumbs: | |

im fairly sure the coolant system holds about 6 litres. use 3 litres antifreeze and 3 litres water, then top up with water whats left | |

how easy is it to get the thermostat off? just that it seems the housing is in a bit of an awkward position. | |

i've done the flush, oil is about 4 litres i think, you take off the bottom rad hose on the drivers side and stick a hose in the coolant tank and flush it, this only flushes the rad. To flush the engine put the bottom rad hose back on and take the thermostat off (prob get a new gasket)and switch the hose back on so now the engine gets flushed, put the stat back on. take the bottom hose off again and drain the water. put hose back on fill with antifreeze then put water in, then run the engine. whilst the engine is running squeeze the coolant pipes to get air out the system, notice the water level will drop, so top up, after driving the car levels will prob drop again so top up as required. | |
