Hi all

1985 998

I have just changed my coolant, I added 1.5l of concentrate but it only took another 0.5l of water to fill it back up. Is this normal because the hains manual says it's 3.6l capacity. I ran the engine up to operating temperature when I did this but it still didn't go down very much


Thanks
George

3.5 is total capacity of a dry engine and heater matrix. Ideally you'd want to use some CLR(and run it for a week) or just flush it thoroughly until clear.
