I've had success doing this on a Pug 106, but it's no different really.

 

1. Find the 2 hoses in the engine bay that go through the bulkhead to the heater. (Usually both are near together). Disconncet them both. Put a container to catch gunk in on the end of one hose.

2. Now, you need to pressurise the other hose with air. I did this using a foot pump, but you will need to come up with some bits of tubing to fit. I used a Football valve in the pump, then sleeve to suit the heater pipe. You could maybe use a compressor but be careful - you don't want to explode it!!

 

It worked a treat. Mine was full of emusified gunk from a previous head gasket failure but it came out.

It was nice to have the heater working again. :)

 

Hope this helps.
