Coolant change

Michael - again a great write-up. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Certainly puts pause to my thought about doing the same thing! Now I have to get an Airlift first. Rolleyes Good think its is a Canadian-made tool. Smile

Only one problem with your original post - the link to the photo you inserted is to a location on your C Drive, so that does not work. Please consider re-inserting the image in the original post - I put the text in bold-red for easy identification.

Here are some links:
UView Airlift Cooling System Leak Checker and Airlock Purge Tool Kit (Amazon)
YouTube video (car): Bleeding the Cooling System with an Airlift Tool
YouTube video (K bike): Coolant change for BMW motorcycles using vacuum filler

With this I am ready to buy my Airlift - Michael, please confirm that this is the one you got (or similar).
