deedub 83 Report post Posted 13 hours ago I've been considering getting a coolant vacuum fill tool like this. Wondering if anyone here uses one of these refillers and opinion on them. I have an E30 and E36. Looking to flush and refresh coolant in E36 soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1749 Report post Posted 11 hours ago A couple of times to get rid of an airlock on some Japanese stuff but found our work one fiddly and not worth the hassle to use normally. I don't see the value for $ in that kit for casual use on older BMW's which are easy to do. You can get those chinese vacuum\pressure tester kits for cheaper than that which would do the job well enough and a pressure tester is more useful to have. Draining then flushing\reverse flushing with hose or hose\compressed air is much better for dirty systems, even on clean ones id still prefer it for DIY given the long change intervals. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good shout. I'll look at some other options. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
