Hello people,
I'm using a 1998 Berlingo 1.9D with the XUD engine. My brother in law emigrated to England and the car stayed here in Portugal.
Before he bought it, the previous owner used water in the cooling system for several years which lead to radiator, head gasket and heater matrix issues. For now everything is solved, except the heater matrix which only generates heat for the front air openings. Usually my legs and feet are freezing, but hey, it's cheaper to run than my petrol powered Alfa Mito.
But there is still a lot of dirty in the cooling system dispite the cooland beeing changed for 3 times.
I wanted to change it again and clean it in the best possible way but at home. I don't want to go to a service station just for this.
Could you please tell me the correct procedures to do this and that air will not remain in the system.
Much thanks in advance.
Best regards from Portugal.
P.S.: I do apologize if my english is not totally correct.
