My 2009 TC now has 128,000 and hit 5 years.
Should I change the radiator hoses and thermostat.
I am going to change the coolant. is it hard to unhook the lower hose to drain.
I herd it is impossible to get to radiator drain.

Any explanation on changing bottom radiator hose or how to unhook it to drain system appreciated.

I know about the water pump drain and how to refill and burp the coolant system on a LNF from a video.

 

the rad has a drain, loosen it, and under the lower rad hose,

no point in changing the hoses if theyre fine, same with the thermostat,

when i filled my coolant system i had the upper rad hose disconnected to help any air escape, whether or not it helped idk but i didnt get any air pockets after burping the system a few times
