Is the coolant a nice clean coolant colour or does it look contaminated and dirty? Link to comment
woodywrx Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) Is the coolant a nice clean coolant colour or does it look contaminated and dirty? it still has a bit of 'fudge' colour to it, but the head gaskets have just been replaced with skim and pressure test. i have to try bleed the coolant system every time i want to go anywhere as the foam just builds up again? ive been looking online and think the system might just need to be flushed several times. what do you think?? and if it does, is it worth using a radflush or just clean water?

Well if the head gaskets have been done then yeah, might be worth flushing the system, just run it through with a hose. I would get a gas check done on the existing coolant first though to be on the safe side. Check the thermostat in a cup of hot water as well, that may explain the overheating. Link to comment
