Just to clarify, that is this connection, correct? Just want to be 100% sure. Also, should expect air to escape etc. Just want to be prepared for any noises that may make me think I've broken something :LOL:

Started to look over the valve cover removal procedure using the service guide...

That's always thought, but for some reason, ice is building up there, as if there is a stall in air flow. If there is no heating component at all, what is this component? It comes up as being this: Trying to work out what it does. It's not near the ice build--up location.

Not that I can tell. Certainly nothing I notice compared to how it normally operates. It clicks once when I open it and once when I close, but this sounds like just the actuator for door. When I last fixed it, it seems to work perfect for a week, but it just lets too much ice build up near the...

Now you see why I was being slightly pedantic about flushing it to death. :LOL:

I have this model: Samsung-Rl39wb https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1088853/Samsung-Rl39wb.html?page=1#manual The issues stemmed from leaving the door open, and it building up a large amount of ice. Since then is has not worked properly, even after cleaning the ice. I thought I fixed it at...

While I wait on the gasket to arrive. Thought I would post these pictures of how bad the coolant system was before I flushed it. Specifically the header tank. Before You can see how much limescale and debris seems to have built up over the years. My best guess is that this car may not have...

Familiarising myself with the process. It seems simple enough. This video seems to suggest that it is beneficial to run a small bead of valve putty in the gasket groove before fitting the rubber gasket in. A few other videos suggest this for corners or any areas with odd joins. Should i...

On the subject of the valve cover gasket. Is it a part that I should ideally go genuine ford. Or are gaskets so generic it's a safe part to get a third party type. I can't find any ford OEM ones online. But rang a local dealer and they want £48 Whereas something like this is £6...

Appreciate all the advice. I probably am overthinking it. It's just a mix of wanting to do a really proper job, so I don't have to do it again for a long time, and learning as I go and not wanting to mess up. I did make a bit of extra work for myself. The flush left the system running pretty...

Yeh, it's just a bit frustrating, as I am at most getting only 1.5-2l out of a drain each time I flush, out of 5.3l of capacity.

Further Question: I've seen the suggestion that after draining I should turn the car over/start for a few seconds to let the pump push/drain any further coolant out. Any reasons why this would be a bad idea?

Ahh yeh, I just rewatched the video. He uses a hose kit to fully connect it to the mains. He just said don't open the tap full. I assume I'm also ok to flush into the hoses that connect to the heat exchanger. Also....from what I can see. I'm only ever getting around 2 or 2.5l on a drain...

Update: Flush going well. I emptied the water I filled it with last time after a bit of driving and it came out brown, then decided to do the rad flush with a hose. I also put the hose in the top hopper and flushed from there, and kept going until the water was coming out clear. This is the...

Hmm, yeh I was wondering that That concern was at the back of my mind. So you think it's more of a risk than reward running a cleaner, hmm. I went for the prestone coolant cleaner which claims to not be too harsh. It's nothing acidic or too caustic I don't think. But, maybe I see how these...

Ahh, good. I thought it was something along those lines. I am still trying to work out if the car has a potential overheating problem. Or if it just needs a good service. So doing this coolant flush first. Everything has gone smoothly thus far. The system needs a good flush/clean though...

I was just worried about the overflow more then anything. Did I just over fill it or was it because I opened it while it was slightly hot?

In the midst of replacing the heater control valve. But after seeing the state of the coolant, I decided to do a full flush. It's a bit of a pain on the KA. But I eventually got to the lower rad hose, and drained it. It takes around 5l and 2.5 litres came out. I also gave the hopper box a...

inflation....it applies to Citroen and every other manufacturer now....we are all doomed

Haha, I'm not worthy of a citroen dealership if I need to ask the cost it seems.
