I think Simon Baxters guide on Brickyard is excellent

best way to drain imo is to pull a few hoses off, then flush with a hosepipe.

put your neat antifreeze in first because you won't get all the water out.

what engine you got?

ok so you want 50% mix of red g12 equivilant because you need good corrosion resistance in a wbx.
thats 8 litres, probably won't get much mors than 8 litres in after a flush unless you have properly drained it but thats ok because after a flush you have fresh water inside which is the other 50% you need anyway.

code here, DF or DG, put it all in your signature for next time you ask a question
