Flushing cooling system
Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2014 1:26 pm
Hey guys, I want to flush my cooling system on my EA82t, I've done plenty of older holdens but I've never done an auto, is it any different? Any tips appreciated.

ea82 shouldn't be any different just make sure the thermostat opens fully when bleeding

and careful not to flush out welch plugs, turbo cooling lines and their banjo bolts 
Once used a trusted cleaner by Nulon, cleaned things out alright, turned into a steam engine the following morning so panicked, engine out, heads off, machined, new gaskets, back together and more bloody steam ! Suspected the turbo, got to use a block of Sealwel - ohh wee - fixed !!

Can you fit a XT6 radiator in instead of the original one? Holds 1.5 litres more, thought it might keep it cooler.

Yes you can but the inlet and outlet pipes are 38 mm not 30mm as well they are both at a different orientation to the XT4 radiator.Vortex75 wrote:Can you fit a XT6 radiator in instead of the original one? Holds 1.5 litres more, thought it might keep it cooler.

Where can you get ahold of an XT6 radiator and at what cost?

Fleabay or some importers will have them but used ones will be harder to find these days
