Relacing/flushing coolant

[c5 swh]

Im going to service my 182 next week. Ive also brought a new expansion tank as mine was looking dirty and tired.

My question is i want to flush the coolant system and replace with fresh.

When i did this on my r5 and clio williams i just removed the header tank, connected hose to one of the pipes and flushed it through until running clear water. I also removed the bottom radaitor hose and did the same.

Will this way work on the 182? I understand i will need to bleed the system etc after.

How would you do it?

Cheers

Use the bleed screw on the thermostat housing to bleed the system.

Will it flush if i just run hose into one of the header tank hoses??

It will but you could just fill with water, start it up then empty it. Then fill with coolant.
