I am about to drain the cooling system to replace the very old coolant. However I cannot locate the hoses mentioned in the Bentley manual. Attached is a picture of the Bentley procedure and one of my engine. Could someone help me identify “lower coolant hose (1) from water pump at connection pipe” and “center coolant hose (2) from water pump”.
Dont drain from the pump, its too much effort and those hose clips are a pig.
Drain from lowest point - coolant hoses near the radiator.
The spare wheel carrier makes a good backrest.
Drain, fill with water, run it, let it cool. Repeat 4 times till water is clear. On the last two runs use posh water.
Drain, fill with 8 litres chosen neat coolant. Then add posh water to make it full.
Happy bleeding.

Or just use the drain points provided in the cylinder heads (between pushrod tubes - you need to remove guards first).

Not the lowest point. Water flows down.

Ah, he didn't mention that (and the pics aren't working). As you were

They're pretty low on a WBX, but it seems it's a diesel. Forget I was here...
