November 23, 200520 yr Is there any way to do this without losing alot of coolant? Just did a flush and don't want to have to do another one for a $12 part.
November 23, 200520 yr not that i can think of. Perhaps a new, clean container to catch the coolant in? Just poor it back in.
November 23, 200520 yr good point, if you're just trying to save the coolant....capture it. i believe there's usually a radiator drain cock...sorry, that's really what it's called! anyway, turn the valve and the little hose drains coolant...tyipcally slow, but drains coolant. remove a cap for it to come out faster. if you're trying to get around burping the system of air....nothing i can think of.
November 23, 200520 yr Just to note, I put fresh coolant in when I finished my motor, and drained it after like 10 miles of driving.....there were particles in the coolant.....coolant's cheap, just put new stuff back in. But if you don't want to, yeah collect it in a clean container and dump it back in.
November 24, 200520 yr Probably be a good idea. Do a search, I think it was Setright that did a detailed write up on how to do this.
