View Full Version : Engine coolant drain plug.
Where is it plx :(
Cant see one on mine and I need to give it a proper flush!
There is no separated drain plug. You need to unplug the water pipe at the bottom of the radiator, 'under the alternator'. I've changed the coolant last week on my car. What type of coolant will you use? Or will you clean it only? I bought ELF Glacéol, it's recommended for F7P/F7R. 3 litres 5000 HUF / 13 GBP and need to mix with destillated water in 1:1-1.5 ratio.
Hmm, ok.
It's a full flushing of the system, got the coolant pipe off at the rad and taken the rad out too for a good clean! Tons of shite in there.
It said in haynes there was a plug on the block...

Not on the F7's, only the smaller engines.

Take the header tank off and clean it, and stick a hosepipe in each of the pipes that go into it to flush the system out each way :)
Hopefully it'll clear out the shit and run clear from the top/bottom rad pipe :)
My hose isn't long enough :(
