Re:Re: [alfa] GTV-6 Coolant fill

[jeff clark <jeff.e.clark@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the subject, I've always put in one of those 'easy coolant flush'
adapters inline on the heater hose  - attach the garden hose, open
the radiator cap and the bottom drain widget, and taa - daa!
It sorta forces water everywhere it needs to be. You can also open
the bleeder on the water pump, just to see more water splashing all
over the place...
By placing the device close to the throttle body ( this is, after all
on a Spider in my case ), it now becomes the 'highest spot' in the
water coolant delivery chain, and is, therefore, the place to do all
the 'burping' necessary in this sort of job.
