Engine coolant flush and replace

[jay82]

Hi, I have a Toyota Yaris 2001 1.0 litre model....I'm looking to top up the engine coolant as its virtually bone dry in the plastic tank..i think what's left of it is pink but not sure due to dirt. Would this one be suitable???...Also wondering would i flush the old stuff out with distilled water? and how i'd do this....plus how much coolant does this model of car need??...any help would be much appreciated.

Take the hose on the underside of from the radiator, When nothing is coming out start the engine and run it for half a minute or so.

Than put the hose back on the radiator and fit the clamp back.

Then fill it up with pink coolant ( probably you need about 4 litres).

Let the engine run and when its topped up put the radiatorcap back. Put the Fan on to hot air coming out of the vents

Fill the resevoir with new coolant.

Put a big CLOTH over the HOT radiatorcap and unscrew it slowly until you hear no sissing from it.

Than led the engine run for a few minutes so that all the airbubbles come out.

Feel of BOTH hoses to the radiator are HOT ( when there both hot the thermostat is OPEN )

The next morning with a cold engine check your reservoir and fill it up with new coolant to the MAX level.👍
