Need to replace the coolant flange on a '97 Jetta GL 2.0L engine, yeah I ordered a Bentley manual but in the meantime I could use some help. Is there a petcock to drain the coolant or do you just remove the lower hose? Looked around and did not see a petcock. I removed the two 10mm nuts holding the backet that filts over the flange, is there a trick to removing this, I didn't see any thing else holding this part. If anyone has a url for VW repairs or technical message boards, please post.
TIA, Herb
