scoobykilla Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Stupid question allert lolAway to put new radiator hoses on, how do i drain the radiator and fill it again lol ??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie1st Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Pull bottom rad hose off, empty water into a bucket.Replace all the hoses you're changing (TIP: Replace the standard spring clips with jubilees as they become weak).Tighten everything up, fill rad with coolant, aswell as the expansion tank.Start the car up with the rad cap off, put your heaters on full and when they become warm, you know all the air is out. It sometimes helps squeezing the hoses to get all the air locks out quicker.Top rad upGo for a drivecheck water levels againJamie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
