  • Radiator flush **NEED HELP**

    Sorry to post in the lounge but I need some help.
    I just drained the old coolant and filled it up with water to flush the system.
    What does it mean if it dosent drain? I filled the radiator with water, but nothing is draining out. I acutally have to blow into the filler tube to push the water out!!
    HELP

            Car is fixed, got the coolant flushed and it runs within normal operating temp now. Just needed a good flush. I also changed the oil all by myself :D

              What did you use to do this? Give us some steps, things to look out for. I need to do this but it seems like a pain in the A$$.

                I changed the oil on my own...omg, what a pain in the *** trying to jack the damn thing up. It wouldnt fit under the front, so the easiest way is right behind the front wheels on the frame. Then set it down on jack stands.
