Coolant Change

Monger007 · 06-25-2018, 08:14 AM

Due to my location I have many issues due to the English language at the BMW outlet being almost zero.

My plan is to change the coolant on my 2010 E90 320D using the BMW supplied coolant. If I am correct this will be a 50/50 mix with distilled water.

When I had some translation done the BMW guy said to pull the bottom hose to drain the system, but I observe there is also a blue coloured plastic drain plug on the radiator.

Just checking if any members can give me the best plan to perform this job in removing as much of the old coolant as possible.

Previously I never received any reply so I went ahead and pulled the bottom hose.

I have a hydraulic lift so that part is no issue.
