DIY Coolant change question

Post by mariusing »

Hi all bros,

according to the manual on this forum /repair-206/206/info/gb/b1gi02k3.htm, I cant find the radiator drain plug and the engine drain plug, would anyone could help post a photo showing the exact location of those two plugs? Thanks so much for the great help.

If you can't find the drain plugs then the easiest way is to disconnect the bottom hose from the radiator.

Will this also clear the coolant in the engine?

99% if you leave header tank cap off. You're going to flush it anyway surely. Don't forget to bleed system afterwards.
