How would I go about flushing the system out to get rid of all the Kseal / or is it even worth doing?

I think the undateable guy just had another tick. Any serious answers though? I'm not sure if K seal can really do any long term damage if left in the system.  Cars running fine right now. |

It can if u get any air in the system, when its in the cooling system it stays dormant untill it hits air then solidifies. Once its gone it id flush it after about 100 mile or so. As long as you havnt had any air get into the system then it will be fine________________________________________ cherry p1.....SOLD (regreting this)blaze p2.....why did i buy this SOLD Black p3  |

Thanks for the radiator flush tip I'll get some, but what's the best way to actually replace all the fluid in the system? Because if drop the water in the rad/system, air is going to get inside and if it's how you say; all that gunk is going to solidify.  |

Hose in the top pushing the water through as you drain it will be the only way really.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Would never recommend these items, as Welshpug says, it's just masking the issues rather than sorting them out.________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

I must admit, I'd rather replace the component than risk having some of the sealant still in there to be honest.________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
