Put anti freeze in an 01 fiesta

PicGirl · 2015-10-06 17:41:46

I want to put anti freeze in an 01 fiesta. It is up to the level so how do i know if it is still good? And how do i drain the old AF? Is it hard to remove the screen washer container? It has a leak.

Anti freeze strength can be tested with a specific tester available at most motor factors. If it hasnt been changed in 4-5 years, now would be the time to do it. Unclamp the lower radiator hose and drain coolant into a suitable container. If fitted, you can drain the radiator of coolant via drainplug in lower corner of radiator, it will be a knurled cap. Take the old coolant to your local waste disposal facility to be disposed of responsibly.
The screenwash bottle can be unbolted by jacking the car up onto stands removing the front right wheel, removing the black plastic splashguard adn then removing the bottle,probably a few 10mm bolts.
