It's pretty much at the top of the system so just drain a litre or 2 using the tap on the engine block (if it's still installed). You will have to burp the air out of the system after though
@jamesfromwellington thanks. I'll watch your video again and read a little more and get back to you with questions. My heater valve is stuck open just a little and I'm trying to figure out if I can fix it or if I have to replace it
James, i noticed you drained the coolant by undoing the lower radiator hose. Does your car not have a drain plug at the bottom of the radiator? My MK1 seems to have a drain plug for the radiator and I can't tell which is the preferred method of draining the coolant (lower hose vs drain pin/plug)
Greetings James! Do i have to drain the water/fluids if just want to swap out the Heater Valve? (the one that connects to the dash knob)

@@jamesfromwellington and why do I need to? I'm still learning how this works.
So you don't spill coolant all over the panel work and ground
