Antifreeze Quantity?

Post by demag »

I'm going to drain the system this week and refill. What is a safe quantity of a/f? 3 litres sound about right? It doesn't look like it's been done for a long time.

Thanks.
Dave.

3 or 4 should be ideal, although I usually go 50/50 to give me a bit of lee-way to top up with plain water.

Bear in mind that unless you do battle with the block drain plug, you will not be filling up from empty.

Would be good if you managed to give it a good flush if you have access to a hosepipe, given that it would seem to have been neglected...
