[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16403293, member: 9628"] I fully flushed my S/C cooling system a few months ago. I removed the hose from the inlet side of the S/C reservoir (upper hose) and at the I/C nipple, I then capped off the I/C reservoir upper nipple where the upper hose was removed. Then I installed a 90 degree turn down hose on the I/C nipple with a large ziploc type bag to catch the old fluid. Then I took a shop vac in the blower mode and blew all of the old fluid out using the fill cap on the reservoir as the place to blow with the shop vac. All fluid was blown out of the system from all hoses, and the H/E and I/C. Then I put new distilled water in the I/C reservoir and blew it completely through the system to clear any residual fluid. After fully flushing the system I put new coolant in the I/C reservoir and blew it through and was careful to add fluid to the reservoir and not allow air into the system, once I had clean new coolant coming into the ziploc baggy at the end of the 90 degree I/C hose that I had previously installed, I removed that 90 degree hose, removed the cap on the upper nipple of the I/C reservoir and put the oem hose back in place. <<<<No air pockets, no issues and a fully flushed I/C-H/E system. During this process I also added a drain **** to the lower hose on the H/E. If I can find the pictures of that, I will add them...... R [/QUOTE]
