What is diferent with the HHR?

 

According to my shop manual, the water pump drain plug is on the underside of the pump. However, I am looking at my 2010 shop manual for your style motor and I am assuming that your year is similar. I can't look at my engine since it is the 2.0L SS. You really should consider getting this done professionally. Looking to save a few bucks here can get very costly down the road. You need to get your coolant passages cleaned out quickly before damage occurs. I tried scanning the shop manual pages for you to attach, but I am unable to reduce the file size small enough for this site due to the very small limitations.

 

Juan, if you can PM me with an e-mail address, I will gladly send you the cooling system section of the service manual in PDF form. These engines can be hard to work on in certain aspects, at the top of the list is the cooling system.

the biggest problem I have with that video is that they only have you fill it with clean water I believe once.If you filled it with clean water heated up and drained and refilled about 5 times you would then have a clean clear system.
but it sounds like you only did it as the video showed and I am sure as others mentioned above you have a mix of old antifreeze new antifreeze and coolant flush

 

Did you get the cooing system PDF I sent you Juan?

 

I received it mike! Working on it is already in process. I´m going to drain the radiator and open the water pump plug.... And then re-add coolant.

I´ll let you know if I had success

 

Sounds good Juan.

 

Good luck Juan, we're rooting for your success ! Hope it goes well for you.
