Hi just bought some evans waterless coolant and was wondering if anyone has any tips or advice for getting the full system drained, refilling and bleeding it?

Obviously I would like all the old water/ coolant out and have bought a couple of litres of flushing liquid to help with this but have been told by a garage its going to be quite difficult to remove all the water from the system.

has anyone done this before?

thanks in advance.

anyone fancy lending a hand feel free ;)

Distance buying laws mean you can refund within 14 days of purchase.

 

As for the waterless coolant. It's junk. Water has a massive thermal capacity, using anything else is just daft, especially since there's no problems with it.

Push the flushing agent round with a airline , Make sure you filter the condensation out of the airline first.
