Coolant change

[Dean250]

I fitted a new coolant bottle to my second williams, originally it had a pink coloured coolant in that I flushed through with water then Type D coolant a few times, I then bled the system and kept topping it up with more Type D although after doing this numerous times it still keeps turning the green Type D coolant slightly off colour!! so far been through almost 15L of the stuff and i loads of water flushing it!!

anyone else experienced this? I think I will just have to get more coolant and go again!

Get some of the cheap & nasty blue stuff from a factors, fill it with that crap, drive it, drain it, repeat with more, drain it again then fill with just water, drive it then drain again then fill back up with type D

Works a treat :winkey:

Any reason why my new coolant Ive had put in is pink? Im not assuming it should have been green lol
