[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1440120, member: 19880"] Sounds good. Shavings etc could be from the original manufacture although I would have expected them to be ground up and oxidized long before now. Drain, flush thoroughly with distilled water and fill. Unless you flush with 50:50 antifreeze, remember that the system holds up quite a bit of fluid and the residual water will dilute what you add... Keep an eye on temperature and if it continues to run hot, you may have to investigate further. Thirteen years is probably just a bit too long for coolant! [/QUOTE]
