    flushing my coolant, drain---add water---idle---drain---add water---idle---- drain --- add water---idle ---------. 14 times.

    Pic shows juxtaposed coolant drained from my 360. From left to right (first row only)

    1st drain, 2nd drain, 3rd drain, etc etc 14th drain.

    Interesting enough, the 10th drain is more greenish than the 9th. scratched my head......

    each time I made sure that the THERMOSTAT OPENED
    but I only opened up the HVAC heater once, so that could be it!

    7-8 liters each time if I blew it from the expansion tank
    5-6 liters each time if I don't blow it ---- gravity drain only

    Flush, drain, flush, drain, flush, drain....etc. PITA! took 10-12 times and still a little color, BMW blue coolant in my case, but was pretty much water at that point. You can crack the drains on the engine block but I don't really wanna open that can of worms. Just drain, hit with air to get as much as out as you can, refill with water and repeat. An airlift tool to refill is critical...$100 bucks or so on Amazon.

    What about your misfires?

    sadly, China blocked every social media app that is not "made in china". So my way of contacting trev36 is limited to emails.
    I don't know why but he isn't available other than the method of whatsapp, so I am out of ideas. I've tried vpn but it didnt work for me for some reason

    I just need to send him a CS ecu dump file and let him take a look and I've thought its the ECU software that caused this misfire.
