I've been dismantling an AHU from a '98 Jetta to use in my tdi swap and when I emptied the coolant system things didn't look very good. It looks like the previous owner had either mixed G12 and green coolant or there is alot of rust in the system. The coolant was greenish with a heavier red sediment that settled to the bottom. Also there was a good deal of plastic/rubber fragments in the fluid.
Any ideas what all this could be from?
So I want to flush whatever remains out of the engine. Is there a way of doing this without running the engine? The motor is still in the car but the radiator has been removed.
Is there a recommended coolant flush additive?
Thanks again!
