33 - The cylinder block coolant drain – 616 viewsThis is located on the drivers side (RHD) of the engine block. There is a small triangular section of the engine subframe, look up and you will see the plug behind the exhaust manifold. I had left the car in standard height, so found it easiest to slide under the car below the side steps and wriggle up, using right hand to undo plug with 13mm spanner.

34 - Refitting/Undoing the cylinder block coolant drain plug – 593 viewsWARNING! This is when you need the Kagool. As soon as you remove the drain plug there is no escape! Water/Coolant goes and splashes everywhere. No easy way to catch it, just be ready to get out of the way. Coolant doesn't taste nice or do your eyes any good. This is a lot easier if you are on ramps / in a pit.

35 - EGR Cooler – 905 viewsEGR cooler removed and left to dangle on a coolant hose. Three allen bolts (6mm) release this.
|
|
36 - EGR Manifold Pipe – 861 viewsEGR pipe from exhaust manifold removed. Require T45 torx to remove with some skinny extensions
|
|
37 - You can now see the Thermostat – 1004 viewsAh the thermostat at last, but look stupid torx bolts!! Another trip to Halfords.The bolts are male T40's, so you require a female T40 socket (or E8 as Halfords called it). Disconnect the bottom and side hoses by undoing the spring clips and then pulling. Then undo the bolts. You might not be able to fully remove the bottom hose, but don't worry, it will come apart when you remove the 'stat.
