Thermostat/coolant removal

Post by smig »

Does anyone no howw much coolant I need to drain before I can remove the thermostat?
Don`t really want to do a flush etc, as this was done last year when I changed the radiator (I know I should of swapped the t/stat then).
Any tips on doing this without getting to much air in the system.

Cheers

When i changed mine, i just unbolted the thermostat housing and whatever came out came out and i just topped it up and bled the system via the hoses method, can't remember how much was needed off the top of my head.

I then replaced the radiator a month later so replaced all the coolant then anyway #-o lol
