In this video you watch me drain the coolant and replace the expansion tank.
Here is the link to the expansion tank my dad bought me.

Hi great video and we’ll timed as I was going to do this at the weekend. My bottle is fine but I’m getting a low coolant level alert but it is fine. Seems that the sensors has a float and over time the float decays and gets stuck, hence the alert. Was the bleeding easy? I thought the was another bleed location under the engine cover? Also when do you close the bleed locations once it’s all done? Thanks Bob

Hi Bob, pleased this has helped. The clamp at the bottom of the coolant system where I drained the coolant from is fiddly, my hose was stuck well on and the clamp doesn’t slide down the pipe like normal as it gets caught on the clasp above. I’m sorry my footage doesn’t show it very well, I got my pliers and opened the clasp up the zip ties the pliers so it would stay open so I could use two hands on the pipe. Once the pipe was off the system drained in a minuet maybe 2 then I just put my hose in till it ran clear. The 1st bleed screw behind the fan will leak 1st, you will hear the air coming out when you do your 1st pour. Then when that bubbles out I closed it off leaving the bleed tap open on the new tank, then start the car and warm it up, keep topping it up as you go then when the tank screw bleeds close that up too, let the car cool off, check the cold level then top it up if needed. Hope this helps. Good luck let me know how it goes.
