Standard Bore
I changed my coolant last night with engine ice and have a few questions. I did the change as per work shop manual. First the book says it holds 3.2 litres, I could only empty 2 out of it from the bottom radiator hose and that’s taking out the water pump drain plug which no fluid escaped from there anyway or barley a trickle. I filled it with demineralised water to flush it. The dealer said that was necessary due to the fact engine ice doesn’t mix with other coolants. Again could only put in 2 litres and take out about 2 litres. I unscrewed the bleed screw and poured in the water and the coolant in till it ran out the bleeder which means it’s full but still could only fit 2 litres in it. The worry is it’s not even showing in the overflow tank. Ran it toped it up ran it took off the cap checked it again but still not showing in the tank. It doesn’t have a temp gauge so I don’t know if it’s running hot but the light isn’t coming on and it’s really hot here in Brisbane right now. Thanks for any advice
