Default flushing antifrezze
hi,

on my 2001 s40 how do you flush the cooling system? Is there a drain or do you disconnect the lover rad hose?

Thanks

Nick

On the right side of the car at the bottom of the radiator there is a petcock to drain the coolant.Remove the cap from the overflow then drain it.
