radiator flush for a gen 2

radiator flush for a gen 2

Postby anwagbo3000 » Mon Jan 21, 2008 2:55 pm

planning on flushing my radiator, was wondering if i could do it myself, could anyone help me with this, and also can i put a different type of radiator cap on, i searched for a tutorial but could not find one, maybe i was looking in the wrong places, could anyone school me on what i need for this job and how to do it please, and again, what is a good radiator cap to go with or does it not matter :evilbat: :drinking: :evilbat:

it doesnt really matter about the brand of the cap or anything. its just for looks. I'd put a TRD one on there. 8)
