Hey guys, I want to flush the entire cooling system and have searched YouTube for a video, but can't find one specific to a 2007 CGT. If anyone could point me to some guidance, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Likewise, wanted to do the coolant flush on our '10 CFSpur myself after taking delivery. Knowing some of the local Bentley service techs, they advised the proper way to do it was with the use of a vacuum unit. Since I also couldn't find any reference material online, sent it in for a coolant and brake flush last Feb. (suspect both hadn't been done since delivery)
They threw in a complimentary comprehensive mechanical inspection. My total cost was less than Cnd$550 (inclusive of parts, labour and taxes).
Am sure there are experienced forum members who surely will assist.

 

Does anyone at least have a diagram showing the location of the drain valve?

 

Pull the lower rad hose after removing the filler cap I would have thought enough.
You could measure the vol ,Even if more than 1/2 towards 2/3 comes out , that’s enough for a satisfactory replenish in a DIY way .

But to be honest Bentley know there will be more important reasons the coolant is gonna be dropped in routine work for three common reasons ....

1- It’s only a matter of time before the alloy rad leaks , sooner if the roads are salty .

2- Or on all of them the rubber a €2 part O ring at the back of the alternator perishes dripping coolant over the alternator necessities front off and rad moved to service position or better still to get the Alternator off to get to the O ring it’s better to pull the rad + it’s pipes off = drain anyhow .

3- The serpentine belt has a 10 y service life btw .....so another reason to pull the rad off .... drain + inspect it .....make a call on replace or refit it ?
Do the alternator 0 ring while in .

Its not IF with theses two it’s WHEN .
