Subject:Coolant Flush question
From:Mark Ingalls
Date:Tue, 19 Sep 2000 19:53:18 CDT

I have a new hose kit for a 85 GL. When I change them I want to change from
VW coolant to Prestone Orange or something like that because it is  cheaper,
easier to get, most likely a fresher product, works as well as VW if I
change it every year from what I gather.

My question is I would like to flush the system of all the VW antifreeze to
avoid any compatability problems but I don't want to pull the head drain
plugs.

I am going to use Boston Bobs procedure for bleeding the system so I was
thinking of filling the system with water after I drain it then drain again.
Then fill with coolant and bleed.

Anybody have any better ideas or tips?
