Recharging the Alde system. How difficult is it?
Hi all. When I picked up my caravan from the last service, I was told that if I hadn't changed the antifreeze in the Alde system in the last two years, it needed changing. The blue coloured fluid apparently needs to be changed every 2 years whilst the pink (didn't know there was a pink) is every 5 years. My van is 3 years old now. Now I am retired, and have nothing to do except eat biscuits, drink tea and generally get under the OH feet, I wondered if any of you lot have had a go at changing the fluid, recharging the system bleeding it etc etc. The fluid is ridiculously dear but they have us cornered don't they? Add to it the labour charge and its a dear game. So I wait with spanner in hand and hope it's not too much of a problem. The only thing that I might have difficulty with is pressurising the system but I have a 12v tyre compressor so that's a plus. Any help on this would be most welcome. Thanks.
