Please can anybody help me locate the tap to drain all coolant. Or tell me how to drain all the coolant as I desperately need to do a coolant flush and refil.

I drive a 2006 seat Leon 2.0 FR tdi (mk2??)

me and my mate have been trying to do this for two hours today and the radiator pipes connected to the radiator have no tap for draining. One pipe is connected at the top, and the other is half way down. So I can’t drain by pulling lower pipe either

Nothing in the bottom of the radiator?

Maybe you just pull the lowest pipe off from the circuit and drain from there? Perhaps you can't 100% drain the system with it in the car?

Hi mate yeah there is no tap to drain from as iv found ok previous cars. And the lowest pipe from the radiator is half way up the radiator so really doesn’t drain much!
