hi guys.
i want to change the entire coolant in my engine. V8, besides the undercar bleed in the radiator, is there a bleed on the block ?
because i have removed the bleed of the radiator but i have only managed to take out only 5-6 litres...
please help me because i have left the car as is and i need to use it... 
also a guide about how to refill in order to avoid bubbles would be great..
thx. hope to find a solution... J.p

I hate to ask, but for what reason do you want to 'change' the coolant?
What are you hoping to gain/achieve? I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

it is not a way of gaining something as is, but to follow the manufacturers directions. which in this case it sais to change the coolant every 4-5 years depending the use.don't forget that all the lubricants lose their properties after a given time, that applies to engine oil, brake fuids, coolant etc...

ok, very straightforward. two more stupid questions... in the pdf it sais under blue colors "specifications" but i cannot click on them.
also this pdf is for a diesel engine, but I guess the procedure is the same. are the heater hoses and the rest of them in the same place as the V8 ?
thx a lot  J.p
