What engine? For a WBX.... It is impossible to catch it all. Lots of old bath towels and flattened cardboard is the answer. Release rad bleed and thermostat valve. Remove blue cap. l release pipe attached to either the rad return or feed. It drains two ways, from radiator and from engine. So have a ...
