![]() I'm still having problems with my Meriva's coolant, as it seems to be blowing out of somewhere. Any advice would be really helpful, as I've not done this before! Is it possible to remove the hoses from the engine block to flush it without lifting the car or is this something that I need to get the garage to do for me? (I was trying to avoid paying out). The only problem is I do not have a car jack other than a tyre jack so struggle to get underneath the car, whilst it is on my drive. I am not sure whether to refill the system with antifreeze now or try to remove the thermostat to do a full flush of the engine block. The coolant that has drained out of the radiator is still orange/brown, as I assume that this is what is trapped in the engine block when I drain the radiator. I drained, flushed with garden hose and refilled with water, then ran the engine again for 10 minutes with heaters on as per instructions. I refilled using Holts SpeedFlush and water and then ran the engine for 10 minutes at full temperature. I drained the radiator from the valve and the coolant that drained was quite orange and had bits floating in it. On inspection the coolant appeared brown. I recently noticed the engine coolant appeared to have a brown mousse floating on top of it.
