Radiator Flush M20 E30

Recommended Posts

Am thinking of giving the E30 a radiator flush soon and refill with some fresh coolant & water.

Does anybody known how many litres to completely full it back up, for an M40 motor? Coolant vs Water (how many Ls of each) is recommended? Coolant will be the normal anti-boil/anti-freeze stuff.

Cheers

Here in New Zealand it's not REALLY that cold... it's unlikely to freeze if you just use tap water... but then you'll end up with something worse than a frozen radiator.

I use 30% myself...

If you're concerned about boiling points of water... an M20 E30 pressure cap is 1.3bar a later BMW has a 2.0bar cap.
