Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting eldo User Jun 26, 2010, 3:39 AM Post #1 of 3 (1672 views) refill cooling system Sign In 92 Eldo-4.9L- 300,000+. Lower hose clamp came off new radiator. System has never been flushed out. Is there something I can do, or just refill ?------- also owners manual calls for adding GM engine coolant supplement (sealer) only with complete change was not added when rad was R&R--Auto zone guy said they didn't have any sealer ( not talking about stop leak). Plan on new clamp and refill tomorrow advice much appreciated O' knowledgeable one's.

Most shops use an air lift tool to fill systems now so air pockets aren't a problem... This one you could fill like normal. Then let it run, get to operating temp, making sure it doesn't get hot. After you run it and it's cooled down completely, double check the level and top off as needed........ While the supplement isn't critical, you would probably have to go to the dealer to get it. Some of those were a combination sealer, lube & rust inhibitor. I've never been a big fan of sealers of any kind in cooling systems... If it has a leak, the best option always is to repair the leak correctly........ eldo User Jun 27, 2010, 1:19 PM Post #3 of 3 (1654 views) Re: refill cooling system Sign In Much Thanks, System filled checked and topped off.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
