200bhp starlet Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 when replacing coolant how do you know how much to put in do you fill the rad up to the top ??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
string Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 i norm fill rad up with car running and cap of rad. let it heat up and it'll start bubbleing. once its stopped bubbleing norm means airs out. pop cap back on and top overflow bottle up. then run car for a few days and keep checking and topping where necessary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
