Draining Down



Remove the coolant bottle cap. (engine must be cold)
You can drain down by attaching a small hose to the stub on the drain point. this at the bottom right hand side of the radiator, looking forward. It's a 13 mm hex with a cross cut out of it. It's quit hard to reach. I just took the bottom radiator hose off of the radiator. This is at the the bottom right. I had to burst the hose clip with the screwdrivers as it was the original crimped type.

If you have problems getting the clip off, or getting to the drain point, you might need to remove the undertray.

Whatever way you drain it try to catch the coolant in a basin. When it starts to flow you can open the bleed screw on the top right hand side of the radiator. See photo.
