    Default Coolant system overfilled

    Guys, i have no idea how to empty the cooling system in my VY.

    I did a cooling flush on the weekend and now the strip is reading two bars above the maximum range.

    Do i need to empty the reservoir and if so, how do i do it?


    sorry for noob question - i am used to falcons.

    you should be safe but if it does become a bother you can always shove a clean rag down there to absorb the excess

    There's an overflow, don't sweat it. Otherwise, run the car to hot and open the bleeder valve. Let coolant keep gushing out if it's desperate.
