Hi, I tried to send this message a few days ago, but didn't get a response. That is rare with this helpful group, so I thought I would try again. In attempting my first complete replacement of coolant for my 2.1 86 vanagon, my Bentley points to the drain plugs between the pushrod tubes as the proper location to drain. These plugs are accessible after removing some type of shield or sheet metal covers. Two out of four hex head cap screws on each side are badly rusted. The hex nuts are so rusted there, that I bypassed replacing that part of the exhaust system a few years ago. Is there another way to drain the coolant? Thanks, Jeff Jeff Hartman Juneau, AK 86 vanagon 2.1 |
