04 1.5d coolant change - BobG
I want to change the coolant on our 1.5dci with air con. Usually this job is straightforward - remove bottom hose , empty , fill and bleed but I can't find an easy way to get at the bottom hose to let the coolant out. Any one had experience of this vehicle? Also can someone confirm the volume of coolant needed - I've got several figures depending on where I look it up.

It's not that critical. Somewhere between 33% and 50% anti-freeze will suffice for our climes.
