Re: Specific instructions on flushing radiator??? let me just state once again, that the dealer really doesn't charge much for this. They use a system that is made for flushing the cooling system. The old garden hose trick is probably not a good solution when you are trying to get the green stuff out and the red stuff back inside.

Re: Specific instructions on flushing radiator??? installu has some info about it. Pretty much the highest point in the system is the TB hoses that connect to the top of the radiator. Open that line up and start filling to get the air out. When fluid comes out up there you're filled up. I would run the car, then open the cap back up to make sure all the fluid is in the motor, then fill some more if neccessary. Remember to clean out your reservior bottle too.
