So i just got in from fushing my coolent system and wanted to do a little ranting about it while at the same time giving some tips that the Haynes manual dident give me.
The drain valve is on the drivers side of the radiator in the back. It is long and pointy. Make sure you find a hose that fits on the end of this cap snugly. A garden hose is to big. Get the proper hose attatch it and then loosen the plug. Lossening the plug is not easy. It is in a very crampted location. Make sure you have strong hands and a varity of tools to use in trying to loosen it.
Put the car on jack stands. This way you can fit a large contaner to catch the coolent under the car and be able to remove the container when it is full without spilling it.
The entire front lower spoiler is of such bad design. It is so hard to remove and put back on.
Just because it is lightout when you start the job dosent mean it will be light out by the time you finish.
I think this as all for now, thanks for listening and i hope i made at least one persons coolent flush a little easyer. I'm going to attemt a brake fluid change in the next few days stay tuned for another rant im sure
