Time for a good service

I put in old coolant because I didnt have any more new coolant.
I have flushed the engine about 5 times this summer, driving around with tap water for 10 mins after every flush, it was still not very clean.
You have to understand that the engine I had put in the car last spring had been standing still for over 1,5 years.
The rusty coolant that came out last week has been in the engine for about 4 months. I didnt want to dilute the new coolant too much since it
was meant to be used without adding water. A 5 liter container of the coolant sold at the Shell station costs 17 euro's..ridiculously expensive if you ask me. I need to flush the whole thing again anyway, but I'll do so with cheaper coolant.

About the oil filters, I have also returned one to the dealer before because it didnt state it was for 4age's, but have used them without problems. I believe the original filters for the 4age where longer that the current ones (which are meant for the 4afe & most engines of that generation).

FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC!
