I feel like I'd need a kid's wading pool to catch everything. Maybe one

The last time that comes to mind was when the middle kid had the 210
that he poked a hole in the radiator, I pulled it out and patched it
with one of those patch kits, then refilled coolant. It lasted a couple
of weeks then replaced with cheap ebay radiator, so drained and filled
again. It
I've rarely had to drain good coolant and reuse, but the few times I’ve had to
do it I figured a dedicated pan paid for itself.

I am probably going to need to do that. I can't tell you how much good

whatever. That gets a lot of it out, and then I use a big wide low pan
under the lower radiator hose, and put a low bucket in the pan to try to
catch the
Most Mercedes radiators have a drain valve. Well, my 124 cars that still

Does it help with draining the old coolant?
My biggest issue with routine coolant changes is just the huge mess. No
good way to drain all the old coolant. I've tried the Prestone coolant
flush kits and those make a mess too plus I don't really like cutting
the heater hoses to install their cheap
If you are doing a refill on a cooling system, this is a must have item. Makes
