2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    You can just refill it, but while you are at it go ahead and flush then refill.

          Ok on the bottom of the radiator there is a plastic screw its called a petcock for real thats what its called, make sure the radiator cap is off and unscrew it and all the fluid will come out of the radiator. If you cant find it you could just take the lower hose of the radiator. As for the overflow just remove it and dump it all out, good luck

            thanks for the info, I have been waiting for my replacement manual to come in the mail so I could do it, but this has solved my problem.

              you drain the resevoir tank by unscrewing the top and just pulling it out and dumping the fluid in a safe place.

              ...adjust accordingly

                If you wanna really clean your system take off your upper radiator hose and get a longer one or you can use your stock one but its gonna get everywhere in the engine bay. But yea get a garden hose and put it on the radiator and turn on the car and you should have a decently big water gun that dont shoot far and let it run until its clear plus gets the dirty bits out. But I recommend draining most of it first before doing that.

                  yep, i did that also but i only disconnected the top hose and took out the radiator plug and it just comes rite out. do it when your engine is cool to the touch and don't leave the engine running for long
