System flush

[Tonys]

Want to clean the whole coolant system on the 16v. Ive flushed it all through but know its not gonna be clean. Anyone know what will give it a good old clean out?

Also the water tank is orange, how can i get this back to the original colour, whatever that is?? Its filled up with hot water and a dish washer tablet at the moment but not looking any cleaner?

Put some gravel in too and shake it!

bleach it??

the coolant tank should be nice n clear. Get a brush, like one of those pot brushes, with a long, thin handle on, put the hot soapy water in and give the tank a good old flush round with the brush. That should sort ur tank out!

Couldnt find any gravel so gave rice a go.

And the bleach has been in there since 3. Still not looking too white. May just get a new one, or live with a dirty one.
