Coolant change.

[rivatrol]

Hello.
What is the correct procedure for changing the coolant on my 03 Almera? Is this a regular DIY job or one best left for a professional mechanic?

Engine type would be useful.

for you maybe takes 1 hour for making all work, for professional 10 min. Also don't forget you must do purge the air after all.

Could you go into the technical details?
Are there any special tools required?
Thanks.

you don't need any special tools, for quick drain of old coolant water, you must take off the down tube who goes to the thermostat, with this your radiator will empty. After that, you must drain the other coolant from the inside of the engine, if you take off one bolt in front of the engine near to exhaust pipe. tomorrow, i will try to upload a foto.
