Hi had a pipe burst on the m6 yesterday dumped all my coolant lol. Was the pipe from the bulk head to the back of the block, had to cut the pipe and slip it back on, bit awkward but sorted now.
Anyway wen the last of the water poured out the pipe it was full of rust and grit, iv done a coolant change before.
What's the best way of flushing the system properly? Can you get a rust eating solution of some type?
Am I best taking the thermostat out, reconnecting the housing, n opening the radiator drain plug. Putting a hosepipe in the header tank and just run it through with the engine running?
Wana try me best clear all the grit and silt
