I have a set of 8 samco coolant hoses that I would like to fit to my P1. Sadly I'm a bit a technical biff so am not entirely sure how to go about this.
Is there an easy way of doing this? How do you avoid getting airlocks etc in the system?
Any assistance and advice greatfully received!

SAMCO hose fitting

These are kind of easy to do, I got 4 out of the 8 fitted already. The others will get one when I need to take the surrounding bits off.

Good Luck

BTW - Its not a hardship to drain the coolant. It only costs some anti-freeze at the end of the day.
