i read all of the topics here about that action but i still have some question


1. a friend of mine recommended me also the do a flush with a cleaning fluid ( he recommended on prestone), can it harm something in the engine or else?
this is the site of the conpany : prestone

2. where is the draining hole in corsa c and should i need to drain air bubbles or just to run the engine with the cap off?

actually what are you saying is to flush the radiator first (by removing the pipe that connects between the rad and the engine , when the radiator is clean you flushed the engine by placing the pipe back to place ?

is there any recommended antifreeze for corsa c?
thank you !!


this is a great forum , advertise this forum ,it took me a while to find it !!
