Hi All. I want to change the coolant in my PV544, and the car engine is cold. There are 3 drain cocks. Lets say i drain the system of all the relevant water/ coolant.

Question 1: I want to flush the system of any CRUD that may be in there, so what do i do?

Question 2: When i begin to fill the radiator (presumably after tightening the drain cocks) with the correct coolant/ water mixture, will the whole system fill with the mixture?

REMEMBER, the car is cold and the thermostat is closed - SO, no circulation.

Can someone PLEASE give me a blow by blow method for draining/ filling the coolant mixture AND getting rid of all the air pockets (as much as is possible).


Thanking you in advance.
Sunil
