hi - most of the details have been covered so I will add what I have found. 1. do not open the can by ripping out the centre as per recommendation. Simple take a sharp spike and punch a small whole in the top of the bit that is designed to be removed. Now upend can and shake the product out...

I think freshwater flush is very important - here in NZ we have a high saline level and we are running an TAMD70C Volvo. when we bought this it was obvious that the coolers had not been apart for a long time. The story and procedure to get them apart was long and convoluted requiring making...

Tamd 70C Interesting point - the honest answer is I do not know if doing this will create long term issues. Having just pulled the main exchanger out for service - not sure it had ever been out in the past and was difficult to extract - it was in good condition but badly obstructed - took...
