I plan to flush and replace the coolant in my 1.9dj. I've read the link on how to bleed the system etc, but not sure what the best way is to drain the old coolant out.
Is it just pipe off the radiator?? Do I let the engine run for a short period.
Sorry to sound dumb, but never had this problem with my Aircooled lol
