Winter is coming and don't ask but I am in the midst of a thorough radiator flush and hose replacement. The chemical cleaner I am using suggests driving the for 3-6 hours over a few days to allow the product to work. Temperatures are at and slightly below freezing. I am at the point where I have added the bottle of cleaner and topped up the radiator with water. I also cut the water with washer fluid antifreeze in order to provide freeze protection over the next few days while I wait for the cleaner to work. Can anyone foresee any issues with this approach? Dont want my rad freezing up!
I intend to fully flush with water and fill with proper coolant after the job is done.
Other than the darn hazordous chemicals you have to dispose of, why not simply drop it off at a radiator shop, have it serviced and take it home laater the same day?
