[Austin-182]

im going to get the clio serviced but i want to change the coolant aswell, as in completely flush it and put new in. is this easy to do? i dont have to remove bumper or anything like that do you?
and also anyone know what coolant to get? im sure i read only use the genuine renault stuff

Take off header cap. Take off pipes to drain it. Flush it clean with a hose pipe (block and rad). Fill with either Renault pre mixed stuff or halfords advanced. Bleed until no air buddles.
