Thank you! For certain repairs like replacing the coolant flange water outlet, it’s generally necessary to drain some of the coolant to prevent spillage and to properly replace the part. However, you don't need to drain the entire system. You can drain just enough coolant to be below the level of the flange. Always ensure the engine is cool before starting any work, and refer to your vehicle's manual for specific instructions.
This video was very helpful. Thank you very much Charlie, great stuff 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Charlie, very helpful, I have this job to do tomorrow on my 2015 GTC.
Good luck!
@@SanuMotorswithCharlie Your video was priceless. Job done this afternoon, just got to get the error code reset.
Great video Charlie. Can this be done without having to drain the coolant?

Did you drain the coolant before taking the pipes off?
No there is no coolant to drain. Car came MT coolant
Thank you
