well i went in to get a rear brake line replaced cause it was leaking and the shop said u were only stopping with your front brakes the whole time cause air was in the rear brakes cause of the line leaking. They started bleeding the brakes everything was going fine till they got to the driver...

So i had the shop replace a rear brake line that was leaking and when they were bleeding my brakes they all were bleeding fine but the drivers side it just keeps spitting out a lil bit of fluid and not shooting out and the shop told me the only way to make it bleed is to replace the brake master...

hmmmm....

Is it OK if I just drain the radiator and overflow container then fill the radiator with 50/50 and then in a month repeat this process? Also once I fill the radiator to full should I start my car with the cap off or on?

If I just drain the radiator and then fill it to full with new coolant to the top it should stay full even when I start the car since I didn't do a flush or take coolant out from the engine?

Where is the bleeder screw located on my car? Its a 88 Nissan 200sx 3.0

I have 1988 nissan 200sx 3.0 v6 with 100k miles and it says to put 87 regular unleaded but would it be ok if i run 89 midgrade in it? wouldnt it help it run better and keep things clean since its a older car? Also which is better shell or bp?

i guess ill just drain the radiator and overflow container and fill to the top but for this i dont need to run the engine for 10min or anything right since im not flushing it?

i think ill pass on the flush then im worried things are gonna clog up or leak since this is a 1988 and god knows how long it has been since its been changed. How about i just drain the radiator and then hose the radiator with hose till thats clean at least?

My coolant is really dirty and have no idea when it was last changed so im gonna first drain the radiator then close it up and fill it up with distilled water then turn the car on and let it run for 10min then turn the heat on and let it run for another 10min then i will drain the radiator again...

but ive seen many people change the coolant without removing the tstat...

i already bought 50/50 antifreeze i was gonna fill and drain with distilled water till clear and then fill the radiator up with 50/50....

why should i remove the thermostat? im gonna let the car run for like 10min and then another 10min with the heater on blast so it the water can flow threw everything.

Hey guys i have a 1988 nissan 200sx 3.0 and the coolant is really dirty and i wanted to know should i do a flush with distilled water until the water comes out clear or should i add a radiator flush product with the water? Im just worried to do a flush on it cause its a really old car and i dont...

well no i did a tune up cause i noticed when i drive off and stop the car would shake alot but it would run smooth if the engine was hot just felt like it needed a tune up plus i never did one for like 3yrs and the mechanic said he recommended i change the fuel filter with the tune up so he did...

Oh i forgot to mention the day before the check engine light came on they replaced my spark plugs, wires n fuel filter can any of these things cause that egr cell to come on maybe the fuel filter or spark plugs they installed are faulty?
