Default Coolant change Newage

Is the procedure the same as a classic ? I noticed that I now have a radiator with a cap just wondering what purpose this serves ?

Jdm spec c 03

Thanks

Bump.....

System now drained .... Im just gonna refil as per normal via the turbo hose just wondering if I should leave the rad cap off to let any air out as the coolant pushes through ??

Anyone ??

Fill the rad first using the rad cap, that will get all air out of the rad. Then fill the rest slowly through the turbo pipe.

Won't filling the rad first increase the possibility of creating an airlock?

I'll be doing this tomorrow so interested to know. Also how much it takes and what mix your using.

7 litres seems to ring a bell.
