This whats going on!
So i bought my 05 TL Base Auto 6 month ago, Well i wanted to do a Radiator Flush because i didn't know when the previous owner did a maintenance, I did ask about few stuff to the owner but all he said "I guess u need to wait till 105k as Acura dealer told me" well i didn't want to wait so i did a Radiator Flush last Sunday.
OK so this is what i did:
I drain the radiator and then drain the engine block (Engine block was draining slow didn't need to use a hose)
Then to clean the radiator i use prestone flush & cleaner, I fill the radiator with prestone F&C and use a gallon of distilled water. I turn the car on with the heater on high for 10 min, turn off the car and wait for engine to cool a bit then drain the radiator and block again.
And then i fill the radiator with Honda Type 2 Coolant & reservoir (I use a gallon and half) i did it with the car on and left the radiator cap off to bleed air. so i went for a ride and when i came back home reservoir was at the low mark so i did fill up to the middle of lower & upper level. The i went for a ride at night and i check the reservoir it had a bit more from upper level.
OK what i have notice is that when i have the the recirculation button off heat from the engine comes in like if i have the heater on low.
Smell from the radiator comes in to but maybe is because i did throw water to the radiator.
Radiator fan turns on idk if it does it a lot.
Something i did wrong or its normal?
The car is not over heating or anything tho temperature gauge is always at the middle and i have use the car since i did the flush.
