coolant flush after head gasket change..
I have a 95 E320 Wagon on which I changed the head gasket just now. It is the usual problem leakage of oil on cylinder one... However, oil got into the coolant and I was wondering what the best strategie would be to clean/flush it all out. I can not imaging that the citric acid will do a good job..

a "Detergent TYPE" flush
The FSM wants you to use this product:
Oil Cleaner in cooling system: disodiumtrixosilicate-pentahydrate. Part number is A 001 986 21 71 (500 g) Believe it or not ,I've successfully used the Laundry product "Shout" added to tap water to clean oily residues from cooling systems. [You have to flush with clean tap water MULTIPLE times,though]

Coolant flush..
The synonym is Sodium Metasilicate pentahydrate and it can be found at numerous places.. Could you tell me the ratio of powder (Na2SiO35H20) to I assume distilled water. Do you start the engine and wait for it to circulate through the system. Appreciate any advice... Cheers

Two different sets of instructions
Depending on whether you have "Light Alloy" Radiator (Looks like ALUMINUM to you and me.)
In the first pictogram #12 is the Engine Block Drain[you will want to locate yours] The Second set of Instructions (#s 1-7 ,in two parts) is for Aluminum Radiators.
