While I was putting coolant inside the rad after flushing it, a tiny piece of plastic from the coolant container fell inside. I tried making it float by putting in more coolant but it just disappeared. The plastic is the size of a pencil eraser, I don’t really want to remove all the fresh coolant and repeat the process again. So my question is, is it ok if I just leave that piece of plastic inside the rad? I flush the cooling system once every two years, so can I just remove that piece of plastic after 2 years?

I’m planning on flushing my cars coolant this weekend but I have stumbled upon a problem. Can anyone give me advice on how I can remove the coolant in the reservoir tank? The tank is way inside the engine near the fan, there are no bolts for me to remove and also there’s no drain plug on the reservoir tank. Someone told me that inorder for me to remove the reservoir tank I need to remove the bumper. I don’t want to go through that hassle just for that.

I’m actually pretty curious if this is a case of turbo flutter or not, though my instincs tells me it is. My uncle has a 2.5L turbo diesel lifted pickup truck with big fat tires and a straight pipe (yeah I know not cool and very heavy). So here’s the thing when ever he releases the throttle I can hear a fluttering sound, I assume that it is turbo flutter and if it is, it ain’t healthy for the turbo even though it sounds good. What do you guys think?

My uncle owns a 2011 2.5L Turbo Diesel Ford Everest. It’s been 5 years since he had bought it brand new and only has about 28,000+ kms on it. He told me that he wants to take it to a shop so it could be Chemically Decarbonized. My question is, Should He or Should He Not do it? And what are the Pro’s and Con’s of Decarbonizing a Diesel Engine? P.S. There are debates on the net where people say that decarbonizing an engine is good while other people says that it could harm the engine.
