Use deminiralised water from any auto store. Or if your really jewish just boil the kettle about 2 - 3 times then pour 3/4 of the kettle in and dispose of the bottom 1/4. Rinse repeat.
Also if your going green make sure you use a type A coolant, no way to jew yourself out of that one im afraid.

Based on my reading of your post: are you saying that you are planning to add red coolant to the green coolant in your car?
If so, I am pretty sure mixing the two will bring some unwanted effects (happy to be corrected on this)...?

I too am sure you can't mix, but I read it as he was flushing it, leaving very diluted green coolant that he can't flush out, and then adding the proper, Red Coolant. Could be wrong though.

Picked it up from some work done... extractors, exhaust, OTR intake and a retune. So now we're about 300+kw/630nm with mid-range gains of 45kw/110nmExhaust and intake sound mean as well. Now if only this was the Barina i was talking about and not the SS-V :/
never had anything left after a flush.

I returned the premix and got concentrated red and yes it did have the wrong green in it I flushed both rad and block I have run the car at idle to normal running temp then did a 10 minute drove got home let everything cool while checking for leaks etc had to top up ran car again same as before and let cool down level was good and colour of the red had not changed, I could guarantee I didn't get every last drop of green but seems I got most out
Hmmm strange clutch behavior...
Cold, nice and firm response...
Car warmed up, light slippage...
Car stuck in traffic jam and temp goes to just under middle (90) perfect!... maybe clutch bleeding is needed...

Ok peeps another q and a...
Lets say there a vacuum leak after the air flow meter (lets say... the coupling fron the crossover pipe to the turbo inlet). Could this be an issue to cuse the car feeling like crap between 2800 and 4000 rpm? Almost like it just doesnt want to make power ir it flies through it without actually doing anything... friend says clutch but im looking for simpler answers first.

Sounds like clutch but I'd say look at the air leak first and see if it changes anything
