When I pulled the old engine out of my previous vanagon, it was easy getting the coolant out. I just started ripping off hoses with some giant trash can lids underneath to catch the coolant. Thanks to an accident it didn't last me long enough to do another coolant change. Now that I have a new one, I want find the easiest (least messy) way to do it. Any suggestions? I know there's the shopvac method, the Bently method, and something about a bong made out of PVC and some hose (not sure about that). Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks Steve |
