wapanzica Posted March 30, 2017 Report Posted March 30, 2017 Just got the radiator from the GT recored and need to know how much coolant should I need to refill the system?
Avanti83 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Posted March 31, 2017 If everything has been drained probably close to two gallons but why not just start with a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and pour it in until it won't hold anymore, start the engine and add more as needed. Then just fill the overflow reservoir to the full mark and let it heat up well, purge the air and drive the wheels off of it. Just watch the overflow so it's not empty when the engine cools for a few cycles. It will take what it needs and there's no need to guess. If the heater was drained, you may want to pull off a hose before you fill the rest of the system and fill the heater with the valve open, then fill the system until it reaches the hose, reconnect the hose and then finish refilling the system.

wapanzica Posted March 31, 2017 Author Report Posted March 31, 2017 Heater - We don't have no sinking heater . This car has AC but on heat. Thanks for the input. Just looking for a general rule of thumb. First time I've replaced a radiator.
