28th - Flush and Coolant Change
For a while I've been wanting to flush out
the coolant system on the GPW. With winter not far away, I decided I'd
better get it done and fresh coolant/antifreeze added. Since the
existing coolant looked quite dirty, I drained it and flushed the system
through with water a couple of times before I put the proper radiator
flush through. I needed to use an aluminium tube to direct the draining
water into a bowl to stop it pouring all over the axle and spring. The
flush was then flushed before adding Prestone coolant/antifreeze. Unlike
the wartime practice, I didn't stencil Prestone 2020 on the hood!! |
