NO. This system has enough problems with corrosion as it is. Flushing
chemicals are by their nature corrosive and great pains must be taken to
neutralize them. In a normal FWD car with a relatively small system this is
not a big problem, but our Vanagons don't exactly fit this description. The
though of residual corrosives taking up housekeeping in my boxer engine
gives me the heeby-jeebies.

It's time for me to 'flush-&-fill' the radiator on my 89 camper. Does anyone
have any suggestions regarding chemical flushing agents? Should I use one or
not?


Thanks
