Changing the radiator fluid.

[Duxbury]

I've had a look all over the forum and did a search but come up with nothing, i am looking for a little advice from the accord gurus on changing the radiator fluid on my 2.0l 2004 accord. I want to do it next weekend and i will do a how to guide with photos.

Thanks Dave.

Hello Dave,
I can't remember off the top of my head, but I know its detailed in the owners handbook. I know it's slightly different for my diesel compared to the petrol.

Hope that helps.
Rob.

will be doing the coolant change tomorrow, when you set the temperature controls to Max heat / HI, what fan speed should i set?

 

[davecmr]

Fan speed doesnt really matter all you are doing by setting to HI/hot is opening the valve that lets the water flow through the heater matrix in the car thus allowing any air to escape and also when draining it it will drain the heater matrix too.
