[DML] Re: Filling the cooling system - help!

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Generally when you have a problem in the cooling system it is best to
do the whole system at one time. You should probably replace EVERY
hose and seal, check the radiator and replace if green, replace the
water pump, and belts, idler pulley bearings, drain, flush, refill,
bleed and pressure test. This can become a large job and if you do not
have much automotive experience this is not the one to learn on. It is
not a job for someone who is not knowledgeable on Volvo engines
either. Your local garage may not be up to the task on this one
either. Talk to other local "D" owners and see where they take their
cars for repairs. The Delorean venders can always talk someone through
this and they have a "Master Cooling System Kit" they put together
with all the parts you will need.
