drain rad, little red plug thing passenger side at the bottom, drain clyinder head (bolt in head above the turbo) with it not having aircon no need to take viscous fan off,take hose off thremostat housing,unscrew the three 10mm bolts what keep housing on,replace thomostat plus o ring tighten the three bolts evenly to 8nm,refill header tank with 50/50 mix with antifreeze/water, put heating on full leave the cap off the header tank,start car and press the hoses to get the air out of the system :y :y
