As per title, I have just flushed my coolant and refilled it with 'Speed Flush' but haven't emptied it yet. It's dark and I can't be bothered tonight but will if it will damage the car. Advice please...

I don't know about the stuff you're using but the wynn stuff i've got don't say you shouldn't.

Yes of course, and it wouldn't be the first car I'd flushed just wondering if it will be O.K too leave overnight(not a thing that would be on the instructions)

If there was a chance of it damaging your car I would respectfully suggest it would be in the 'instructions'

Imagine the law suits :rolleyes:

ETA: That was a tad vague, I would suggest you re-read the instructions thumbsup

mine says pour in to header, get up to temp, leave to idle for 10 mins and then drainand flush thru with fresh water. I personally wouldn't want to leave it in too long just in case there is some detrimental effect on hoses.
