Engine Cooling-Cooling System Flushing - Ford Transit 2002 Owner's Manual

Engine Cooling - Cooling System Flushing
General Procedures
Transit/Tourneo Connect 2002.5 (06/2002-)
1. To remove rust, sludge and other foreign
material from the cooling system, use Premium
Cooling System Flush, that is safe for use with
aluminum radiators, for additional information -
Refer to Specifications in this section. Remove
the thermostat prior to pressure flushing. This
cleaning restores cooling system efficiency and
helps prevent overheating. A pulsating or
reversed direction of flushing water will loosen
sediment more quickly than a steady flow in the
normal coolant flow direction. In severe cases
where cleaning solvents will not properly clean
the cooling system for efficient operation, it will
be necessary to use the pressure flushing
method using Cooling System Flusher. Dispose of
old coolant and flushing water contaminated with
antifreeze and cleaning chemicals in accordance
with local, state or federal laws.
2. Remove the radiator.
CAUTION: Radiator internal pressure
3.
must not exceed 138 KPa (20 psi). Damage
may result.
With the radiator in an upside down position,
flush the radiator with a high-pressure water
hose in the lower hose location.
4. Remove the thermostat.
5. Position the high-pressure water hose into the
engine through the engine coolant return and
flush the engine.
