Is it necessary to flush the system also, or is simply draining it usually ok? Also, what else should I do while I have it drained? Should I replace rusted clamps or old hoses, even if they're not leaking? I was also considering putting in a cooler thermostat as suggested on the townsendimports site, since my c900 displays the symptoms of getting very hot after highway driving. Speaking of that- is the replacement thermostat really necessary, or would it be sufficient to replace the fan temp sensor and/or rewire to make both fans come on when the AC is off? I've been thinking of doing something like this for awhile, because it really does get quite hot when sitting in traffic (esp. after highway driving) when the AC is off. Also, since this is an epic post anyway: My heater works very well when I'm driving around, but when the car isn't moving only cold air comes out. What gives? Thanks, John
