Coolant change

[2007aurisd4d2.0]

Hi, looking for advice on how to change the coolant on my Auris 2.0 D4D 2007 (1AD-FTV engine)

How do you drain the existing coolant?

Where do I buy the pink coolant for my type of engine? - and how much do I buy? What's the cost?

Any help appreciated..

Toyota have not changed much over the last couple of decades. At the base of the radiator is a drain key. You may need to remove the under floor tray to catch old coolant.

The key is item 16400B. I am not sure about coolant drain from the engine block, but maybe by undoing some of the coolant pipes may help.

You can get pink coolant anywhere. It is best to get good quality long life premixed coolant (pink or blue). I prefer premixed coolant as there is no impurities, as in water from the tap.
