I'm planning on cleaning the manicoolers and pulling and evaluating exhaust elbow this spring (Perk 6.534's)
One of the biggest PIA's on something like this for me is to drain the coolant. Usually the drain plug is in a tight spot and hard to control the fluid after it's removed. I just ran into this while replacing the turbos on my friends Volvos. Also, it always seems like there is a helluva lot more coolant coming out than I ever put in!
Just wondering if anybody has words of wisdom, or a unique method of draining the coolant without making a big mess.
