swede Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Actually the 50/50 is really good for topping off and were really not to stupid just conscientious of our time consumption. If you are paying money for water that is free from the tap, well i would say that's stupid. Has nothing to do with being conscientious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brick8 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Heat will help. Soak overnight with PB Blaster (oil that breaks down rust in an aerosal can). Peak in the Blue Jug is all coolant. Peak in the White Jug is pre-mixed. Ignore the taunting answers. Keep asking questions. It is your car. If you are not 100% sure, it is better to ask, than make a big mistake!!!Be careful that it isn't too hot. The coolant will be under pressure and could really burn you.

yangotang Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 thanks robert for that info. Ill try that Pb blaster stuff. And for the Coolant to start getting hot doesnt the Heater have to be on or no?Thanks,OrlandoWhenever you start the car and the engine is running, the car heats up regardless of whether or not the heater is on or not.When the heater is on the coolant flows to the heater core; this in turn allows the coolant to flow through almost all parts of the engine.

yangotang Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 OK so if im gonna be Changin my Thermostat and Ect should i have my heater on or off??You do know that you ought to do a partial drain of the cooling system before you change both of those, right? You can change the ECT and Thermostat when the car is off and teh coolant is cool.The only time when the heater needs to be on is when you fill your cooling system with water to flush it out between old a new coolant.
