    Well, it`s not so much the coolant, what happened was this morning my car alerted me to a problem with the coolant, checking it I found that it was nearly empty. After going to my garage and seeing that they didn`t have the correct one I did what the manual suggested and just filled it with water until i could get the right coolant. Now my question is how do I drain the water so I can add this coolant?
