Hi guys

How would I reverse flush the radiator on my 3.2 v6? Should I put the hosepipe on the drain plug? And then which pipe should I take off, the small one at the top left that goes to the water bottle?

Thanks.

I would have thought the best/only way was to either remove the Rad from the car altogether or at least to remove both top & bottom hoses & direct the flushed water away from the engine bay somehow
You certainly don't want to be dislodging any crap from the radiator & sending it around the cooling system to block somewhere else!
