leafsby1 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I read the manual for my 2012 DJ it said something like 12 litres of coolant to refill. However when I drained I only got about 4 litres that came out? How do I get the remainder out? Or is this typical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 That's typical. The rest is inside the engine, heater core, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsby1 Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I guess that 4 litres will have to do for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, you should do a full flush and not just replace the 4 litres you drained. Otherwise there's really no point. OhareFred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsby1 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Have never done a full flush in any vehicle I’ve owned, just drained and refilled before it got so scummy it needed flushing, However I did flush my heater core as this year is known for the issues with the heater core. I also managed to get the remainder out by removing the coolant hose going into the engine. Armando G and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armando G Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 I usually do (did) the same until I did a full flush on my other car when it hit 100K. I was shocked what came out. Glad you got it all out though. leafsby1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
