Hello everyone I wanted your input on what radiator fluid I should use in the L175 and also what cap it needs as well since its wearing out, I also need new radiator hoses and have seen a few sites that have those but nust wanted to double check, I went to napa once but they have a universal hose and its not a direct fitment.
Regarding fluid for the most part all Ive used was hose water from the well when running it and storing it for a few weeks. I do drain it when left untouched for months so it doesnt rust badly.
And recently during this summer I took it off the frame and straightened some fins out and power washed it afterwards, man was it dirtty, it had some chunks of dirt and thick brown dust in betweem the fins and also the fan shroud had chunks of dirt as well. Afterwards that helped cooling a lot since the heat wasnt as intense.
Let me know what you recommend I do with the fluid and cap! I hate having to open the lower rad hose and draining the hose water everytime, or should I just use straight distilled water? Thanks!
