coolant FORD MUSTANG 2003 Workshop Manual

GENERAL PROCEDURES
Supercharger Cooling System Flushing
1. WARNING: Never remove the pressure relief cap while the engine is operating or
when the cooling system is hot. Failure to follow these instructions can result in damage
to the cooling system or engine or personal injury. To avoid having scalding hot coolant
or steam blow out of the degas bottle when removing the pressure relief cap, wait until
the engine has cooled, then wrap a thick cloth around the pressure relief cap and turn it
slowly. Step back while the pressure is released from the cooling system. when you are
sure all the pressure has been released, (still with a cloth) turn and remove the pressure
relief cap.
Once pressure is released, remove the pressure relief cap.
2. Drain the cooling system. For additional information, refer to Supercharger Cooling System Draining, Filling and Bleeding in this section.
3. NOTE: Refer to the cooling system flusher manufacturer's operating instructions for specific
vehicle hook- up.
Using an appropriate cooling system flusher, flush the intercooler cooling system.
Use Premium Cooling System Flush VC- 1 meeting Ford specification ESR-M14P7-A.
4. Fill the cooling system. For additional information, refer to Supercharger Cooling System Draining, Filling and Bleeding in this section.
