I have a vauxhall zafira dti, i have bought the correct coolant and amount , i have all the tools to complete the job, the question i have is, do i let the engine get up to temperature with the interior heater fans on then drain and replace with coolant or do i replace the coolant when cold and flush using cold water.
Your thought please
Thanks
Nick.

I always start this job with a cold engine. Drop the old coolant out, refill with new. I flush out only if the old coolant is really filthy. If you put new cold coolant straight into a hot engine it could cause metal to crack as it contracts quickly. You don't want a cracked block.
