I’m flushing the coolant system in my 1996 B4. I pulled out the thermostat to make draining easier and emptied and refilled the system with tap water, using the lower radiator hose to drain it a couple times. Then I poured in a bottle of Prestone Flush/Cleaner and ran it for a few hours. Then I drained the system with the lower radiator hose again and refilled with distilled water. I’ve now drained and refilled with distilled water four times in this manner. Each time about five liters of clear water came out. The system holds 6.5 liters. Do y’all think four flushes with distilled water would be enough to get the Prestone Flush/Cleaner out before the final refill with 60% G13 antifreeze / 40% distilled water?
