Hey fellas,
After this cold winter I had to replace my radiator, once I changed it I filled up the system with collant only to find the coolant was pouring straight out of where I think the core plugs are.

I think the coreplug is beneath the fuel pump, am I right in sayin this? Is there an easy way to get at them?

thanks very much

Looks like you're right, there are a couple right where the pump goes:

13 - 023403 x10 PLUG-CORE DIAM 27

I'm not sure if there'll be an easy way to get to them if they're right behind the pump :(

I reckon 13 'cos they're right where the pump goes. Not sure what sort of ideas Stefan wants - I presume on replacing the core plugs without removing the HP pump first :?
