Subject:      Coolant  Flush question
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

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?
