JohnD Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Sodium bicarbonate?!? That won't remove the skin from a rice pudding! It might blow the pudding up into puffed rice,but will do nothing for engine deposits. No such compound as "sodium hydrochloride" Na "hypochlorite" is bleach. Na chloride is common salt.

Pete Lewis Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 best thing about the vinegar treatment is ....the desire for some chips when driving !!! never use it in the screen wash, works well on cleaning glass but the hunt for a chip shop becomes overwhelming soda does a good job of cleaning tea pots false teeth , soft cloths wash and gets the brown sludge dissolved and flush out of old systems , its just very cheap quite obtainable and worth a try , Aidans tried most now, and getting some results , when he's completed the variety of tests he can post a vote Ha !

thescrapman Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 You could try Citric Acid. Buy it in boxes from Ebay. Regularly used as a cutting agent for Heroin and such like. Cheers Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AidanT Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Try again Final Post on this -Everything completed and now running on the 4 Life fluid from the club So Just some pointers 1 My car took just over seven litres but that's because I have a five Core Radiator which takes an extra half litre - From this the Capacity is 6.5 Litres from Dry 2 For cleaning, the proprietary cleaner came out worst, soda crystals were best 3 When Lime scale is solid and your block drain is blocked (no pun intended) squirt a little drain cleaner in the hole and but the bolt back in then attack with a small screwdriver with its end bent @ 90 degrees (the last ¼”) 4 Use vinegar to clear lime-scale deposits system burps are a good sign J Use the advice above!

Colin Lindsay Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I remember confusing someone a few years ago by asking how Beetle owners flushed their radiator when their engine used no water... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
