DIY guide - 2014 Opel Corsa D 1.4: Fully flush the coolant

See the first coolant drain and fill here:    • DIY guide - 2014 Opel Corsa D 1.4: Ch...  

Following the previous coolant change using normal drain and fill, I wasn't very happy with the results (the coolant was still dirty after more than a month of driving), I decided to do a full coolant flush. I went with a method that doesn't involve thermostat removal and the use of non-distilled pressurized water. To do this I did the following:
- I added a radiator and cooling system cleaning solution and drove the car for about 30 minutes in order to allow the solution to work
- While letting the car idle and using the pressure from the water pump, I progressively drained the old coolant and replaced it with 100 % distilled water
- When the drained coolant became transparent (indicating that the distilled water had pushed out all of the old coolant), I allowed the radiator to drain normally
- At the end I knew I was left with about 3 liters of nearly-pure distilled water in the system, since the cooling capacity of a 1.4 Corsa D is 6 liters and a normal drain removes about 3 liters; this meant that in order to achieve the desired 50 % - 50 % mix of antifreeze and coolant, all I had to do was add about 3 liters of 100 % concentrated antifreeze
