scott_king Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Just empty out the radiator coolant and pour in engine ice. No need to dilute and anything messy just pour it in and you will be amazed what a difference to engine temperature it makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fan should not be on all the time mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercoman2k8 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 have you checked your water level and if low just fill to the top will distilled water and anti freeze. The fan should not be on all the time mate No no no no - Distilled water is still very corrosive. What you're after is deionized water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
