volvo v70 frozen
« on: 10 December 2010, 18:48:29 »
a few months ago i put a second hand rad on a v70 advising the guy he would need anti-freeze & also his auto g/box fluid changing. idiot did neither. now hes frozen up. i will probably see him later if i go for a pint, & if he asks me the best way of un- freezing his motor what would the best advice be?

I would let it defrost naturally then start it up and see if any harm has been done

The v 70 is a hardy beast should be ok but let it defrost naturally and tell him to put some antifreeze in it  ;D

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

can it be towed to somewhere indoors? will defrost quicker, and also it saves it being frozen all night, the longer it is frozen the more chance a frost plug or pipe etc can blow.

I had a 2.9 granada that froze on me, frost plug went, and it was a pain to get to.
