    I'm impressed.....
    the thread managed to get to page 2 before the stupid question was asked
    :whatever:

    You'd still have SFA of a chance at a date !

    Grow up

    I checked the oil and fluid levels today

    Everything was fine until i checked the radiator...

    When i opened the radiator cap OMG:eek: it was filled with rusty water, not coolant :mad:

    I want to try and do a radiator flush myself:)
    I searched some old threads on how to do this and it seems pretty straight forward...

    I have tried to open the little tap thing on the bottom of the radiator, but it got stuck, I turned it about two full turns anti clockwise and it got really tight,

    Am i turning it the wrong way?

    Or should i give up with the tap thing and just pull off the bottom hose?

    Thanks again everyone..... sorry for the dummy questions:eek:

    Jess

    also make sure you get proper distilled and de mineralised water and not water straight from a tap to mix with your coolant concentrate

    it might pay to do a plenum pull and change all your old hoses and delete the ones that arent needed....

    Can I use tap water to flush it out a few times before adding the coolant and distilled water?

    Can I buy a pre-mixed coolant?

    Oh and what shout i do about the little tap thing its stuck? If I pull off the bottom radiator hose will i get rusty water all over me lol

    Trust me, pay a shop to power flush the whole cooling system it isn't worth draining the radiator over and over and it still being murky at the end of it all. I learned the hard way. :)

    Yep rusty (hot) water all over you and everything in sight lol.

    If you use tap water a few times then adding distilled water after is pointless as its going to mix with whats still in the engine. The drain tap shouldn't be stuck, have you tried a spanner or pliers on it?

    she wants to do a simple coolant change,not a $1500 service ya hairdresser rofl :eek:

    use a pair of pliers gentlly on the drain plug,they can snap,if you cant get it off,undoing the bottom hose will be fine

    Ok, Thanks for the advice,
    I don't know if the previous owner has used distilled water or just plain tap water....
    If it is tap water can it cause any damage??
    I'm a bit worried now lol

    I will get the power flush thingy done..
