Hey everyone!
So I just did a full coolant flush on my 2006 T1N. Everything went as planned thanks to sikwan’s write up but right at the very end and last top off a very unfortunate event happened and I want your guys opinion before I start her up.
I was emptying the dregs of the second gallon of coolant and...into the reservoir went that little piece of foil seal that’s on the coolant bottle when you first open it. Yes yes, you may berate me for a paragraph about how I shouldn’t have placed said foil in the cap then replaced the cap without looking, but I’m well aware how serious this mistake could be and I’m looking for solutions.
I assume if I start the engineer that pice of foil will be sucked through the engine, radiator, water pump, etc. and get lodged somewhere and be a much bigger issue than it currently is sitting in the reservoir. I searched with a light and it’s not visible through the top of the reservoir and does not appear to be floating. Any idea what the best course of action is here?
Thanks a bunch!
Sean
