Thanks for the advice, keep it coming, please. |
That mayo is really hard to remove. I used a comercial degreaser and some laundry detergent mixed with tap water and flushed the system several times. I did that like 4 times the same day and let the car running with tap water for a week. Then I repeated the procedure and added coolant. After a month I started to get leaks in some hoses, so I replaced all hoses and changed the coolant again. I don't know if there is a better product for that. That's only what I did but don't know if that's the best option.
