How to Replace the Coolant in a Volkswagen Polo?

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK IV, Polo IV, Polo 4, MK 4, 9N - Years 2001-2009
Part: Antifreeze coolant

To replace the coolant in a Volkswagen Polo, lift the car to access the drain valve located at the bottom of the engine bay. By opening this valve, you can collect the old coolant in a suitably positioned container. Once it has completely drained, close the valve and lower the car, accessing the engine bay. At this point, by opening the cap of the reservoir, you can top up the coolant and then close the reservoir and the front bonnet.
