182 Coolant change - Easy to do??

[d4ve86]

Is it easy to drain all the coolant out and put some fresh stuff in?

If so where do you drain it from?

How much does the 182 take?

Cheers

normally take off the bottom hose then let it drain out,stick a garden hose in to flush it out for 15mins or so then put it back on,open bleed valves then add your coolant until up to max,turn on engine and rev to 3k to get fan to kick in,then thermostat will be open,then add ,more in order get the correct level

i usually open the bottom hose, let is drain out. Put water in through water resevoir, let it come out. Put bottom hose on, take top hose off, back fill the engine through top hose (fill engine and rad), put hose on. top up resevoir level. start car, let it idle till warms up checking level as it goes.. etc..
