coolant/autotransmission oil

[keithy]

Hi folks just changed my antifreeze, after flushing by refilling with cold water and draining the rad twice after getting engine upto temp. i have found that i could only get 5.5 litres of comma red antifreeze in the radiator! Also according to the manual the auto g,box capacity is 2 litres, mine drained out 4.2 litres! so thats what i put back in. the level is correct upto the hot mark (with a hot engine) after engaging all gears then switching of the engine.
Have i anything to worry about I assume the engine did not drain completely of coolant but why double the amount of gbox oil?

did you have your heaters set to hot? also try a search on burping the system...

Thats all about right, unless you drain the block you'll not get all the coolant out.

And the gearbox is OK, 4-5 liters is the usual amount that drains out, your manual must be hung over!
