Hi guys, I'm just changing my coolant and want to know whereabouts is the cylinder drain plug and also when I fill up Haynes says to undo the sensor on the block to see if coolant runs out. Is this right? Thanks guys If you can get back to me would be appreciated as I want to do it before the rain comes back Danny |

Looking at the engine from in front of the car, the drain plug is on the left, in the middle of the block, beneath the exhaust manifold. Sorry I can't give you a pic, my diesel is long gone. The plug has a hex head that is about 17-19mm, at a guess. Put a ring spanner on it and tap (shock) it off by striking the other end of the spanner with a hammer. It may be easier to do this from underneath. It probably hasn't been turned for years. Edited by Greek Taxi, Tue Sep 5, 2017 6:22 pm.

Thanks mate, when you filled the coolant did you undo the temperature sensor or should I leave it and just squeeze the hoses? |

Just squeeze the hoses, both bottom and top, as you fill it up. This engine is not prone to air locks. One last thing, Haynes says run the engine until the fan kicks in. You'll be waiting all night, just wait until the thermostat opens. The fans never kick in, because this engine refuses to overheat. Edited by Greek Taxi, Tue Sep 5, 2017 8:41 pm.

Glad to be of help. Look after that 2.5D - they are definitely going up in desirability, and there aren't that many nice ones still around. |
