Good to know in general for most engines:
Check what coolant's colour is the right one for your car (dates and mileage matter)
Run the engine before so rubber pipes are softer and easier and less breakable when being taken off.
We also need to run the engine until the big pipe gets hot because it means the thermostat is open. If this is not done the water in the cylinder block wont be flushed.
Be extremely careful when opening the lid of the expansion tank because of high pressure and high temperature, use a thick cloth on top of the lid and hold firmly. do not put your face right above it.
Before going to the engine: turn the heater on max and leave the heater knob switched off.
Unscrew the bleed screw (if there s one on the engine).
