Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    clear water in radiator

    i have been leaking water from some hose that i already fixed.this morning i checked my radiator coolant and i saw like it was just clear water.should i open the port from the bottom of the radiator and let some out and add 50/50 coolant or should i do a radiator flush and start with fresh. Any advice would help. thanks

      The mix depends on your climate conditions (excuse me for my ignorance on international climates)
      However if you only see clear water, drop the water out of the radiator (remember about 0.5-1.0 litre will stay in the block) and put in a 60-65% mix of coolant to water back into the radiator.
      The 60-65% mix should equalise the amount of straight water left in the block back to 50%.

      If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

          when is the last time anything froze in southern california?

          water can cause corrosion though so you want to get it out of there. i say do a full flush to be safe.
