Can someone tell us how the fuc.k do you disconnect the the coolent hose. The lowest bit it? looks a permanent join to me. Why cant Fiat just make the simple maintenace jobs easy & simple to carry out??????

if you are referring to the pressed joining clips then the easiest way fro me is to prise them off with a screw driver and replace with a screw fit jubilee clip

Hi Custard

well I'm trying sort the same thing really. The hose right down the bottom but hasn't got a jublee clip on it. It looks just like normal water pipe but I'm trying to pull it!!! to drain the coolant out??

to drain the coolant just disconnect the lower rad pipe, which as has been said will have a silly clip on it. break the clip and buy a jubliee clip

it has no clip on it. it just looks like a normal household water pipe join???

how can it look like a normal household water join.. its a rubber pipe

yeah but how do you remove it. do you twist & pull it???

yeah, same as you would any other car

gets rather stuck on cos it gets a bit warm down there
