Radiator draining (to flush out)
« on: 05 May 2009, 13:39:49 »
I need to drain my radiator (1996 2.5 V6) to introduce a flushing agent in. Is there a drain tap anywhere on the system that would make this easier?

Bear in mind though, that it doesn't need to come out completely & it doesn't seal by being as tight as a very tight thing, that's what the 'O' rings are for.  ;)

There is a lot of stuff to wade through if you've only recently joined.
