Help please on changing anti-freeze
Many years ago I had a car which got a cracked block evidently from putting
cold water into an overheated engine. Ever since, I have been concerned about putting cold water into a warm engine. If you start with a cold car, drain the radiator and open the block plugs to get most of the anti-freeze/water out, then refill with cold water containing a flushing compound. there's nothing to be concerned about. But if you run the car for half an hour then drain it out again, according to directions, is it dangerous to then put in the new antifreeze and cold water? Or, is it a problem only when the engine has been overheated, for example from a lack of coolant. If you have this done professionally, they don't seem to worry about draining and filling a car which has just been brought in off the road. Any guidance on this would be appreciated. |
