Re: antifreeze
Wiki is huge so I will help you with a link
http://wiki.club8090.co.uk/index.php/Co ... ing_system" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I think Simon Baxters guide on Brickyard is excellent
http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/bleed ... 1c58d.html|" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
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?

Re: antifreeze
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.
