This sounds like the best idea I've heard. Minimal mess and no splash shield removal.
I assume you have to run the 50/50 mix thru so you're tossing out about 1/2 gallon of antifreeze?
Also assume the car needs to be brought to temperature where the thermostat opens up - right? |
Yup. Just dump in premixed. Put heater on full heat, fan speed 1. Remove the intake snorkel to allow more movement for the line. You will also need to disconnect the rad fan electrical connector. Will make sense when you go to do it. Can do it warm or cold. Normally mix one jug of concentrate with water, which is 8 L total.
Super easy, and no mess.
