2004 x-type
Well recently acquired car that needed alot of work.
So far rebuilt tran, NEW: coolant recovery tank, hoses associated with recovery tank (because i bored the original ones out to gerry-rig the two busted nipples on the recovery tank till i could fix it) water pump,thermastat, air filter.
Now I have never flushed out a coolant system and have no idea. I have alldatadiy repair service, but it kinda lacks in specific help in locating most things. Also, a/c did not work all summer. I've looked into that abit but really have gotten nowhere.
Right now I really need some input about the coolant flush.
It has been straight tap water through out the summer and it is loaded with rust and sediment.
Step-by-step if you would.
Thanks
