Pour water/antifreeze at ratio 60/40 into radiator
then you should have your radiator flushed because you have rust in it. FYI: antifreeze can strip the paint off of your it you spill it. Also, you may need to replace your radiator if the antifreeze is leaking, it may be through a rusted/corroded portion of the radiator.
To change coolant on a Toyota Corolla, place a bucket under the radiator. Open the radiator drain valve and remove the radiator cap. When all antifreeze drains out, close the drain valve. Then refill with fresh antifreeze and replace the radiator cap.
You likely need to replace your radiator cap - the rubber seal in the cap is worn.
Pull your lower radiator hose, replace it when all fluid is out, and refill it.
To replace a lower radiator hose on a Ford Focus, use a bucket to catch any antifreeze that might leak. Loosen the clamp from both ends on the hose that needs to be replaced. Put the clamps on the new hose and reposition the hose on the radiator and the other end where it needs to go. Tighten the clamps. Refill the radiator with antifreeze.
It's very simple. Take out the old one and put in the new one. Just make sure you plug up the antifreeze hoses and buy more antifreeze for the new radiator.
I had a similar problem and ended up replacing both the lines and the radiator.
You don't fix it you replace it. Drain the radiator, replace the hose, and the thermostat, flush the system, install a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water, bleed the system.
Drain the Mercury Tracer radiator into a pan. Loosen the clamps at the ends of the radiator hose. Wiggle the hose to free the ends. Slide the hose off and replace it. Tighten the clamps an refill the radiator. Dispose of the old antifreeze as it is toxic to animals.
if drain plug is stopped up, u need to lose antifreeze and flush radiator and then replace with new antifreeze as obviously the radiator and coolant are dirty or drain plug would not stop up
Sounds like you need to flush the radiator and replace the thermostat
