replacing the antifreeze

Post by tallandrew » Wed Jan 02, 2008 11:06 pm

The 4year anti freeze change.

Here’s a chance to save an easy £100 and guarantee that the antifreeze is changed and that the engine is properly flushed out!

Job takes about 3hrs on axel stands in a garage. Requires one £15 5litre bottle of top grade anti freeze, one £4 5litre container of distilled water. A clean 8litre bowl, cross head screwdriver, torques head screwdriver and 13mm spanner(see photo).

For this how to I will reference to a relevant section of the manual and add my own photo’s to better illustrate what to expect.
