Sheefa Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Bought an updated one from Paul so I can track the car and coolant will flow at lower temp. Seems like a fairly easy change over, but do I have to drain the fluids first or can I replace with them in situ? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 You'll have to drain the coolant, otherwise you'll get very wet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thought so Gaz. Wasn't sure if there was a drain plug and I could drain a couple of litres out before replacing. Not doing this in the winter the. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanisLupus Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Rad has a drain plug. Still you'll have to drain a fair bit out before you can change the Stat without getting a shower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Just drop the bottom rad hose off and empty the rad and hose into a clean bucket You can then refill using the same coolant unless you plan to replace it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_ufo Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 is this the one he is selling for £20ish on his site? I was going to buy this if it performs better than the OEM one which costs £26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
