On the megane i just aquired the head gasket had gone, thus leaving the cooling system coated in a brown oily mess. the coolant has been changed since i got the car (came out clear and green) but the system is still coated in this brown mess.

how do i clean the system ???

flush it with water as much as possible. The put some washign powder in it then run it for a day or 2 then drain it again.

It bubbles up lovely.

used persil liquid (three capfuls) in the system for two days removed the bottom hose, all the muck and gunk just flowed out. put a hose in the expansion tank and washed the system right out.

All really clean, and smells nice too
