[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16516232, member: 9628"] I had no problem flushing my complete S/C cooling system. I completely blew the system out by removing the "in" hose from the top of the reservoir, then I put a rubber cap on that reservoir inlet nipple. I then put a 90 degree hose on the outlet nipple of the I/C and used a shop-vac hose to blow all of old coolant at the threaded cap opening 9with a towel wrapped around the shop-vac hose to seal it in the opening). I put a 1 gallon heavy duty Ziploc bag at the end of the 90 degree I/C hose and it received all of the old fluid and had to be emptied a couple of times during the process. Once the old fluid was out and only air was going into the Ziploc, I then filled the reservoir with new/fresh coolant and began the "blow through" process again, being careful to keep new coolant in the reservoir not to let the tank empty (which would have allowed air into the system). Once I had clean coolant coming into the Ziploc I was done, I removed the cap on the reservoir nipple and the 90 degree hose from the I/C outlet and reinstalled the oem hose.......No air in the system and a complete flush of all hoses, pump, H/E and I/C. It was really simple...... R [/QUOTE]
